Every generation gets a glimpse of the historic past that may appeared to have passed along with the most important individuals that were responsible for the events that occurred that made it legendary and memorable. General Douglas MacArthur within the eyes of generations that lived and remembered such a great figure in American, Military, and International History remains a historic figure. However, unless generations thereafter retold the history of General MacArthur and the war in which he contributed to the most monumental victory World War II in the Pacific, he has as he lamented “Old soldiers never die they just fade away.” But for Historian Walter Borneman and diehard aficionados of MacArthur and the war in the Pacific they do not allow the memory and history to simply fade away. In his follow-up to The Admirals, he continues to recollect the roles of those elite members that earned five stars, generals and admirals of the Army and Navy who fought in the first and second World Wars, and General MacArthur was one of several. Borneman writes in an extensive narrative of the years within the Pacific theater MacArthur and At War: World War II in the Pacific.As one begins to read the book, two things may stand out when differentiating the war in Europe versus the war in the Pacific.
