"MacArthur's War" by Bevin Alexander

This book caught my attention and I purchased it due to its claim that it was about the MacArthur-Truman showdown during the Korean War. At slightly over 200 pages it is a quick read, but is mostly a recap of the war up until the disagreement over policy and execution of the war between the military God and the Commander in Chief which take up the last 20 pages or show. It's very good and written by a reputable and very well studied author but doesn't make good on the books promise to show how America could have fallen under an authoritarian MacArthur regime. If you are a fan of military history and 20th century political/geopolitical intrigue check it out.
