Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "Douglas MacArthur is one of the most controversial generals in American history--and one of the most brilliant. His legacy was colored by his outsized personality, his self-importance, and his disregard for civilian authority. Yet he conquered more territory with fewer men than any general in World War II. In "The Most Dangerous Man in America," celebrated historian Mark Perry rehabilitates this paradox of a man, examining how he led America to victory in the Pacific and reshaped modern warfare in the process."
