Dust jacket in good condition, showing age toning and rubbing at edges. * From the book, ""Here is a previously unknown MacArthur whose whole life was the army and yet who at the end of it asserted, ""I am a one hundred percent disbeliever in war,"" and who on his deathbed begged Lyndon Johnson to stay out of Vietnam. Here above all, definitively realized in 'American Caesar,' is the astonishing soldier-hero whose mystery and appeal will never fade away. The unraveling of this unique, and uniquely American, legend is William Manchester's finest achievement.""
