MacArthur's War: Korea and the Undoing of an American Hero

Description

Douglas MacArthur towers over 20th-century American history, chiefly for his WWII service in the Philippines. However, Korea was far more "MacArthur's War." In just three years, 35,000 Americans lost their lives. Korea, like Vietnam, was a breeding ground for the crimes of war. To this day, 6,000 Americans remain MIA. In Korea, American troops faced for the first time a Communist foe, as China and the Soviet Union contributed troops to the North Korean cause. The war that nearly triggered the use of nuclear weapons, reveals MacArthur at his most flamboyant -- flawed yet brilliant.

Acclaimed historian Stanley Weintraub offers a thrilling account of the months of MacArthur's command. MacArthur was imperious, vain, blind to criticism, and insubordinate to the point that Truman chose to fire him. Yet years later, the war ended where MacArthur had left it, at the border that still stands as one of history's last frontiers between communism and freedom.

MacArthur's War is the gripping story of the Korean War and its soldiers -- and of the one soldier who dominated the rest.
