Douglas MacArthur: The Far Eastern General by Michael Schaller (1989) - Book Club Edition from the dustjacket: In an army which eschewed flamboyance, General Douglas MacArthur possessed a unique flair. With his chiseled face, corn-cob pipe, and a voice which "could trumpet and drum" he looked the part of a "heaven born general". He was arguably the best-known and most popular American military leader of the 20th century. In this eye-opening book, historian Michael Shaller offers an intimately detailed portrait of MacArthur, particularly the General's two decades in the Far East, demythologizing this "American Caesar" and providing an insightful analysis of American foreign policy in Asia during those years.
