In this episode I have on James Ellman, the author of “MacArthur Reconsidered,” for an exploration of General Douglas MacArthur's military prowess (or should I say- lack thereof). James challenges the prevailing notion of MacArthur as a military genius as we delve into pivotal moments in MacArthur's career, including WWII and the Korean War. We analyze MacArthur's battlefield performance, examining both victories and defeats, and shed light on how his ability to shape public perception significantly impacted his legacy.
