Written in his own hand, and finished only weeks before his death, Reminiscences by General Douglas MacArthur spans more than half a century of modern history. These pages show a man whose unique vantage point at the center of the stage enabled him to illuminate major controversies of our time, and whose views and ideas – never before published in full – are now bound to bring new and unexpected reappraisals to the conflicts in which he himself was the central figure. Douglas MacArthur served under eight presidents. He was honored as few men have been. His genius for command, and his ability to implement that command by strategy, stand as landmarks in military history. No man was ever so outspoken in his commitment to his troops or in his beliefs. A legend in his own lifetime, he was a man who aroused controversy, yet stood above the awe and the conflicts he inspired. Never before has one soldier’s life so completely reflected a nation’s military history. After graduation from West Point with the highest average ever achieved by a cadet, MacArthur served in Vera Cruz during the Mexican uprisings and then as military attache in the Far East, where he first perceived Japanese aspirations for hegemony the Orient. His courage in the trenches and his leadership of the famous Rainbow Division during the First World War were cited by General Pershing, who seven times awarded MacArthur the Silver Star. Read more…

خاطرات ژنرال داگلاس مک آرتور که به دست خودش نوشته شده و تنها چند هفته قبل از مرگش به پایان رسیده است، بیش از نیم قرن از تاریخ مدرن را در بر می گیرد. این صفحات مردی را نشان میدهند که موقعیت منحصربهفردش در مرکز صحنه، او را قادر میسازد تا جنجالهای بزرگ زمان ما را روشن کند، و دیدگاهها و ایدههای او – که قبلاً به طور کامل منتشر نشده بود – اکنون ناگزیر است که ارزیابیهای جدید و غیرمنتظرهای را به صحنه بیاورد. class=’showMoreLessContentElement’ style=’display: none;’> درگیری هایی که خود او در آن شخصیت اصلی بود. داگلاس مک آرتور تحت هشت رئیس جمهور خدمت کرد. او به اندازه تعداد کمی از مردان مورد احترام قرار گرفت. نبوغ او در امر فرماندهی و توانایی او در اجرای آن فرمان از طریق استراتژی، به عنوان نقطه عطفی در تاریخ نظامی است. هیچ کس هرگز در تعهد خود به سربازان خود یا در اعتقادات خود به این اندازه صریح نبود. او یک افسانه در طول زندگی خود بود، او مردی بود که جنجال برانگیخت، با این حال فراتر از هیبت و درگیری هایی که او الهام گرفته بود ایستاد. پیش از این هرگز زندگی یک سرباز تا این حد کامل تاریخ نظامی یک کشور را منعکس نکرده بود. مک آرتور پس از فارغ التحصیلی از وست پوینت با بالاترین میانگینی که تا به حال توسط یک کادت به دست آمده بود، در ورا کروز در طول قیام های مکزیک خدمت کرد و سپس به عنوان وابسته نظامی در خاور دور، جایی که برای اولین بار آرزوهای ژاپنی ها برای هژمونی شرق را درک کرد. ژنرال پرشینگ به شجاعت او در سنگرها و رهبری لشکر رنگین کمان معروف در طول جنگ جهانی اول اشاره کرد که هفت بار ستاره نقره ای را به مک آرتور اعطا کرد. خواندن بیشتر…
