About This Item

New York: The Free Press, 2000. First Edition. First Printing. good. 385, illus., map, sources, index This 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. Korea was "MacArthur's War," far more so than World War II, and it remains one of our most brutal. In just two years 35,000 Americans lost their lives, and 6,000 Americans remain missing in action. It was Korea where both China and the Soviet Union sent troops. The war that nearly triggered the use of nuclear weapons reveals MacArthur at his most flamboyant, flawed, yet still, at times, brilliant.
