Description
Douglas MacArthur, one of only five men in history to have achieved the rank of General of the United States Army, is the subject of this biography. His exemplary army career, stunning successes and failures on the battlefield, and turbulent private life are examined in detail. MacArthur's life was marked by paradoxes - he was both inspiring and outrageous, a man whose mystery and appeal created a uniquely American legend. This book provides a comprehensive look at his life, from his early years to his later years as a soldier-hero of World War II and the Korean War. The author's portrayal of MacArthur is described as "electric" by critics, capturing the essence of this complex figure in a compelling narrative.
