American Caesar

Douglas MacArthur, 1880-1964

Boekbeoordeling

Meer over het boek

MacArthur was not only a lean, chiseled military genius & master of strategy; he also suffered unexplained lapses. For example, he knew of the Pearl Harbor attack but neglected to deploy his Philippine air force, a failure which resulted in its total destruction. Further, the success of his Inchon invasion was all but undone by the Chinese hordes that later swarmed across the Yalu--a response easily predicted, disastrously ignored. "AMERICAN CAESAR is gracefully written, impeccably researched & scrupulous in every way...a thrilling & profoundly ponderable piece of work."--Newsweek
