Beschreibung
Douglas MacArthur was a man of extraordinary military imagination and command capability, whose life path had a profound impact on American history. The book encompasses all of MacArthur's grand achievements while not shying away from any controversial issues of his career. The connecting paragraphs are composed of MacArthur's own words and ensure the continuity of the historical narrative. The text is complemented by seven sketches and more than fifty photographs. The general recounts the military tradition in which he grew up, his time as a cadet at the West Point Academy, the heroic campaigns of the Rainbow Division in World War I, his role as superintendent of West Point, and chief of staff of the ground forces, as well as the unpleasant task assigned to him during the suppression of the veterans' bonus march.
