Billy Graham was a pioneering evangelist whose ministry spanned more than seven decades. After the end of World War II, as the United States entered the Cold War, he became an outspoken opponent of communism. He fully supported America’s involvement in the Korean War and, in December 1952, traveled to Korea to preach to American soldiers. He published I Saw Your Sons at War after he returned to assure readers of the cause. Victory, in Graham’s mind, would require both military strength and spiritual resolve. Only the Bible could offer clarity in such perilous times, he argued, and only a nationwide revival could save America from defeat.
