ksull95 's review for:
American Caesar, Douglas MacArthur, 1880-1964
by William Manchester

Man, oh man, this one took me absolutely FOREVER to get through. A fantastically detailed and exhaustive account of Douglas MacArthur's life and career, from birth to death. A major chunk (as in several hundred pages) are devoted to his military campaigns in the Philippines, the Pacific, and Korea, along with his military governorship of Japan after World War II. Manchester's prose is fantastic and this is definitely a worthwhile read for people with an interest in MacArthur's life and career, but it's quite the commitment.
