Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - Biography of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, written by two prominent American journalists of the time. Written just after MacArthur's firing by President Truman at the height of the Korean War, this concise (detailing his birth, education and military career through World War I and World War II, the occupation of Japan and the Korean War) biography was written with information available at the time. Kelley had first hand knowledge of some of MacArthur's campaigns since he covered the war in the Southwest Pacific for his newspaper, the New York Herald Tribune. (Cornelius Ryan covered the war in Europe, but became more famous by his best-selling histories of D-Day and other European battles). - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
