Overview
Douglas MacArthur towers over 20th-century American history. His fame is based chiefly on his WW2 service in the Philippines. Yet Korea was far more ³MacArthur¹s War² -- and it remains one of our most brutal. In just 2 years 35,000 Americans lost their lives, and 6,000 Americans remain MIA. It was Korea where both China and the Soviet Union sent troops. The war that nearly triggered the use of nuclear weapons reveals MacArthur at his most flamboyant, flawed, yet still, at times, brilliant. Here is a thrilling blow-by-blow account of the key actions of the Korean War during the months of MacArthur¹s command. He was so imperious that Truman was forced to fire him, yet the war would end years later at the border where MacArthur had left it. B&W photos.
