Written in his own hand, and finished only weeks before his death, Reminiscences by General Douglas MacArthur spans more than half a century of modem history. These pages show a man whose unique vantage point at the centre 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 honoured as few men have been. His genius for command, by strategy, stand as landmark 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.
