Imperious, headstrong, and vain, MacArthur matched an undeniable military genius with a massive ego and a rebellious streak that often seemed to destine him for the dustbin of history. Yet despite his flaws, MacArthur is remembered as a brilliant commander whose combined-arms operation in the Pacific -- the first in the history of warfare -- secured America's triumph in World War II and changed the course of history.In The Most Dangerous Man in America, celebrated historian Mark Perry examines how this paradox of a man overcame personal and professional challenges to lead his countrymen in their darkest hour. As Perry shows, Franklin Roosevelt and a handful of MacArthur's subordinates made this feat possible, taming MacArthur, making him useful, and finally making him victorious. A gripping, authoritative biography of the Pacific Theater's most celebrated and misunderstood commander, The Most Dangerous Man in America reveals the secrets of Douglas MacArthur's success -- and the incredible efforts of the men who made it possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51928706187552,"sku":"NEW0465051685","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-most-dangerous-man-in-america-the-making-of-douglas-macarthur-0465051685","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
