- Summary:
- This book takes a broad look at MacArthur's war as he guided his forces more than 6,500 miles to victory -- from his arrival at Melbourne, Australia after his escape from the Philippines on March 22, 1942, to his entry into Tokyo on August 30, 1945. That was a line of advance in warfare exceeding anything in any previous war including Alexander's march to India and Caesar's conquest of Gaul. All this was accomplished with much less loss of life than in earlier major wars.
