White II, President, MacArthur Memorial Foundation: "Nobody has written a book like this about General MacArthur. That's because nobody could. Nobody else was as close to the General during those tragic and glory years of World War II. Was General MacArthur really that hard to know? -- Not as an officer, not as a commander. He was what he was, as a soldier -- tall, handsome, sure, keen, articulate, with awesome presence. But there was a difference between MacArthur the commander and the man. As a man, he kept to himself; he was withdrawn somehow, at arm's length, even remote. All of which adds up to being. shy. I hesitate to use the word, but that is the way he seemed." .
