Overview
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's fame is based chiefly on his WW2 service in the Philippines. Yet Korea was far more "MacArthur's War" -- and it remains one of our most brutal and frightening, with 35,000 Americans killed in just 3 years, and 6,000 still missing. It was Korea where American troops faced a Communist foe for the first time, as both China and the Soviet Union contributed troops to the North Korean cause. The war that nearly triggered the use of nuclear weapons reveals MacArthur at his most flamboyant, flawed, yet still, at times, brilliant. Weintraub offers a thrilling blow-by-blow account of the key actions of the Korean War during the months of MacArthur's command. He was imperious and so insubordinate that Truman was forced to fire him. Photos.
