These pages show a man whose unique vantage point at the center of the stage enabled him to illuminate major controversies of our time, and whose views and ideas ~ never before published in full ~ are now bound to bring new and unexpected reappraisals to the conflicts in which he himself was the central figure. Douglas MacArthur served under eight Presidents. He was honored as few men have been. His genius for command, and his ability to implement that command by strategy, stand as landmarks in military history. No man was ever so outspoken in his commitment to his troops or in his beliefs. A legend in his own lifetime, he was a man who aroused controversy, yet stood above the awe and the conflicts he inspired. Never before has one soldier's life so completely reflected a nation's military history. After graduation from West Point with the highest average ever achieved by a cadet, MacArthur served in Vera Cruz during the Mexican uprisings and then as military attache in the Far East, where he first perceived Japanese aspirations for hegemony in the Orient. His courage in the trenches and his leadership of the famous Rainbow Division during the First World War were cited by General Pershing, who seven times awarded MacArthur the Silver Star. As the youngest member of the General Staff, his plea for maintenance of an adequate armed force aroused the enmity of those isolationists who believed America safe behind the wall of two oceans. MacArthur continued his campaign for preparedness as Chief of Staff and High Commissioner of the Philippines. After Pearl Harbor, he assumed command of a band of guerrillas who harassed the invader at every turn. His now legendary promise of return became the only hope of a forgotten people. Appointed Supreme Commander of the 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 the key personalities ~Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Nimitz, Halsey~names written large in our history. In Reminiscences, General MacArthur tells the complete story of the Billy Mitchell trial, of the Communist conspiracy that resulted in the ill~fated Bonus March, and of his disagreement with General George Marshall over Allied support of the Pacific War. MacArthur's refusal to allow Russian participation in the occupation of Japan is explained, as well as the facts of his removal as Supreme Commander by President Truman. Here, for the first time, he also reveals his plan for winning the war in Korea, and the refusal by Washington to implement his strategy. Decade by decade, battlefield by battlefield, Reminiscences is a portrait of our most decorated military hero. It is the deeply moving final testament to a life of duty, honor, and service.
