Written in his own hand and finished only weeks before his death, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's memoir spans more than half a century of modern history. His vantage point at center stage during major controversies of the twentieth century enabled him to present unique views of the conflicts in which he played a vital role. No soldier in modern time has been more admired--or reviled. Liberator of the Philippines, shogun of Occupied Japan, victor of the Battle of Inchon, the general was a national hero when suddenly relieved of his command by President Truman. His supporters believe his genius for command and ability to implement that command by strategy stand as landmarks in military history. His critics are not so kind, calling him a gigantic ego paying homage to himself in this book. Decade by decade, battlefield by battlefield, this self portrait is a moving final testament to a life of service that began at West Point and continued in Vera Cruz during the Mexican uprisings and throughout the world wars. Appointed Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the Pacific, MacArthur was the architect of the campaign to drive the Japanese from their strongholds at Bataan, Corregidor, and New Guinea. His recounting of World War II is dramatically punctuated with intimate portraits of key personalities and insights into his stand on controversial issues. Although the autobiography was written more than thirty years ago, it continues to be a valuable document of the period. |

From "I Shall Return" to "Old Soldiers Never Die," General MacArthur's phraseology invariably captured an audience's attention. The MacArthur persona may be familiar to many Americans more because of his oratory than because of his military deeds. Covering both his martial and his political oratory, this book provides a balanced, full-length study of MacArthur's oratorical accomplishments and their impact. Part I is a critical analysis of MacArthur and his speeches, while Part II contains the texts of the addresses discussed. |

GENERAL DOUGLAS MAC ARTHUR FIGHTER FOR FREEDOM By FRANCIS TREVELYAN MILLER Historian History of World War America The Land We Love, Worlds Great Adventure, Life of Thomas A. Edison. Introduction By LOWELL THOMAS Illustrated THE JOHN C WINSTON COMPANY Chicago PHILADELPHIA Toronto InlrrtMtiwuil Ycws Phottt HERO OF LUZON WORLD WAR General Douglas MacArthur salutes. His gallant stand at Corregidor creates new American epic. Copyright, 1942, by ANN WOODWARD MTTXER Copyright in the United States in Great Britain and in the British IDominions and Possessions PRINTED IN THE U. S. A. GENERAL MacARTHUR FOR the second time in history the American people are giving three rousing cheers for a United States General named MacArthur It was in Nineteen Hundred that President McKin ley appointed Lieutenant-General Arthur MacArthur Military Governor of the Philippines. And it was he who finally subdued the insurgent fighters of that doughty race. His son, Douglas MacArthur, as we all know, was recently appointed a grade higher than his father, when President Roosevelt made him a full general of the Army of the United States Douglas MacArthur, who has won the admiration of the en tire world for his magnificent showing against over whelmingly superior forces, in fact against the flower of the Japanese Army. His epic stand on Bataan Penisula is not merely a matter of valor but of extraordinary military skill It takes more than bull-headed bravery to hold the lines with a comparatively small and not too well equipped force against such a mechanical Moloch as that Japa nese army in the Philippines with its terrific superi ority in the air. Few people expected this of Douglas MacArthur, because, to put it bluntly, he seemed too much like a movie type of officer, too handsome, almost too good to be true The things he accomplished were usually spectacu l ar first in his class at West Point, promoted to First Lieutenant a year after his graduation, and so forth On Funstons Expedition to Vera Cruz, it was Douglas in iv . GENERAL MACARTHUR MacArthur, then a captain, who scouted behind the Mexican lines dressed as a sholo and brought back complete information. Beginning in France as a Major on the staff he became the youngest Brigadier-General in the Army. As Chief of Staff of the Rainbow Division he again achieved the spectacular by insisting on going into action with his own men, twice wounded and once gassed, but refusing to be hospitalized. When he got the Distinguished Service Cross it was for ex traordinary heroism against an armed enemy. He came out of that war with thirteen decorations for gallantry under fire, seven citations for extraordinary valor, twenty-four decorations from foreign govern ments. Later on Douglas MacArthur became the youngest Chief of Staff of the United States Army. Upon his appointment as Grand Field Marshal of the Philippines by President Quezon, his former class mate at West Point, General Hugh Johnson said Douglas MacArthur is one of the most brilliant men in public service one general who will not die in bed if theres half a chance to die elsewhere.

Douglas MacArthur established his military reputation at the hill of Châtillon during the great battle of the Meuse-Argonne in World War I; he boasted to a fellow general that he had inspired his troops by example, taking the hill and breaking the main German line in northern France. Ferrell has gone into Army records to determine if what MacArthur claimed was true. In a moment-by-moment account of the battle, he reconstructs the movements of troops and the decisions of officers to show in detail how MacArthur s subordinates were the true heroes. |

General Douglas MacArthur was one of the few military leaders in American history to hold the rank of five-star General of the Army. He was the most decorated soldier in American history. In World War II he directed the campaign against Japan and after the war oversaw the occupation of the country. When the Korean War broke out, his disagreement with United States policy forced President Harry Truman to recall him from his post. MacArthur was a larger than life figure in American history. His story is riveting and insightful. |
