This eye-opening book by historian Michael Schaller offers an intimately detailed biography of MacArthur, focusing particularly on the General's two decades in the Far East. Far from presenting a flattering portrait, Schaller demythologizes the "American Caesar," and along the way offers an insightful analysis of American foreign policy in Asia during those years. Revealing MacArthur's military failings, he describes the costly consequences of MacArthur's indecisive Pacific Island campaign during World War II, which the American public has often hailed as brilliant. Schaller also examines MacArthur's futile attempts at the presidency and his destructive interference in foreign policy. This thought-provoking biography provides invaluable background to America's present relations with the Far East, as well as an unforgettable portrait of a man driven by talent, opportunism, vision, egotism, and jealousy.
