Book summaryThis history of the Korean War focuses on the 11-month command of General MacArthur, who, according to this account, almost single-handedly took America into the conflict. Historian Weintraub examines MacArthur's character and decision-making as well as the effect both of those had on American troops. Media reviews"[F]or depicting the agony of the war on the ground, and for cutting MacArthur down to size--or off at the knees--this impassioned book has few equals." |
