From master storyteller and historian H. W. Brands, twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, comes the riveting story of how President Harry Truman and General Douglas MacArthur squared off to decide America's future in the aftermath of World War II.
H. W. BRANDS holds the Jack S. Blanton Sr. Chair in History at the University of Texas at Austin. A New York Times bestselling author, he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in biography for The First American and Traitor to His Class.
…a fine analysis of the complex interrelationships between
MacArthur, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the President, his political
rivals and the US Press.
*Miniature Wargames*
This is incredible, thrilling stuff - how it panned out that
MacArthur didn't run for president is, to me, something of a
mystery. An absolutely enthralling slice of modern history!
