Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-27 00:00:00 George Wiemers A very interesting book. I enjoyed reading the cold war era perspectives on changes in Asia's political sphere. It is interesting how many of the seemingly forgotten voices of moderation were closer to right than the extremist viewpoints. A lesson worth remembering before we have to learn it again...and again....and again.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-04 00:00:00 Alex Verse I did a report on the Korean War and this book was indispensable for a certain segment. I had to write about MacArthur's experience in World War II and how it influenced his thinking in the Korean War. Schaller does a good job in summarizing important parts in MacArthur's life while revealing some interesting facts. Although Schaller does talk about MacArthur's tactics and some battles, he does not go into full detail. Schaller makes a good albeit general presentation on MacArthur's strategic thinking.
