Yet within six months, he was hailed as the hero of Bataan and Corregidor&mdash;stunning American defeats though they were&mdash;and had come to personify the Allied war effort in the Pacific. Borneman will give particular attention to the myths and realities of MacArthur&rsquo;s stature as a military commander, particularly his relationships with Franklin Roosevelt, George Marshall and the Joint Chiefs, his development of combined operations despite Army-Navy rivalries, and his recruitment of an accomplished cadre of subordinates. What is the real story behind MacArthur&rsquo;s continual claims of lack of support from the War Department? There was and remains no middle ground with MacArthur. The adjectives used to describe him&mdash;whether of adoration or disdain&mdash;were never bland. MacArthur at War shows why through stunning triumphs as well as inexplicable defeats Douglas MacArthur remains one of the most intriguing military leaders of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Walter R.
