American Experience - MacArthur

Admired and reviled. Vain, pompous, and paranoid. A soldier in modern history who was both hero and villain in the annals of history. Douglas MacArthur. Examine the portrait of an American general who is fascinating, complex, and imposing all at once. See how the liberator of the Philippines and South Korea, supreme commander of occupied Japan, and victor of the Battle of Inchon could one day be a national hero and the next, a fallen soldier relieved of his powerful command.
