From the Back Cover
He was one of America's greatest commanders, a warrior so determined and tough that he helped win World War II with a simple promise: "I shall
return." Douglas MacArthur was a soldier's soldier--the son of an officer, the star of West Point, the Army's youngest-ever full general. He was already a retired hero when he was recalled in 1941 to face his biggest challenge: defending an unprepared Pacific force against the seemingly unstoppable Japanese war machine. Now, with rare footage and interviews with comrades, family and friends, Biography brings you the complete story of the complex general, from his army-brat childhood and his magnificent stand in the Philippines to his later forays into presidential politics. You'll get to know MacArthur as he faces the Japanese in WWII, fights his own rogue war in Korea, and, finally, ends his military career by going head-to-head with an angry Harry Truman.
