But behind the scenes, a secret mission was underway that would help avert disaster. President Harry Truman had authorized a daring spy operation to infiltrate North Korea and gather intelligence on the country's nuclear capabilities.

The mission was led by a young CIA agent named John Folsom. Folsom was a brilliant linguist and a skilled intelligence officer. He had been trained to operate in hostile environments, and he was determined to succeed.

Folsom and his team parachuted into North Korea in the dead of night. They made their way to Pyongyang, the capital city, and established a safe house.

For the next several weeks, Folsom and his team gathered intelligence on North Korea's nuclear program. They learned that the country was developing a nuclear bomb, and that they were close to completing it.

Folsom's intelligence was vital to the United States. It allowed Truman to make informed decisions about how to respond to the threat of nuclear war.

In the end, the Korean War ended in a stalemate. But there is no doubt that Truman's secret spy mission played a major role in preventing a nuclear war.

The story of Truman's secret spy mission is a fascinating tale of espionage and intrigue. It is a story that has never been fully told before.

In his new book, _Truman's Secret North Korean Spy Mission: A Hidden History of Averted World War III_, author John Folsom tells the complete story of this extraordinary mission.
