About This Item
From the back cover: "At last, one of the most dramatic and significant events in modern American history - President Truman's dismissal of General Douglas MacArthur from command of UN forces in Korea in April 1951 - gets the dramatic and significant account it deserves, from a master historian. Characters great and small sprint to life as Brands's narrative builds to the shattering climax - one that makes us wonder about challenges of military versus civilian leadership we still face today." - Arthur Herman, author of Douglas MacArthur: American Warrior
