Many books have been written about the amazing life of General Douglas MacArthur. This book is different. It contains information that is not reported elsewhere, information that tells us more about the greatness of this man, and how a powerful and popular US president, because of personal animosities, tried to destroy him.

Beware. This book can change the way you listen to Big Shots - mostly businesspersons with a snapshot or two of politicians - as they pontificate for public consumption and personal gain. You'll recognize the spin, that dastardly polite euphemism for lies that the advertising/PR folks coined years ago to anoint their profession with a bit of undeserved dignity.
