Description: "General Arthur MacArthur's extraordinary life spans the history of the United States from the Civil War through the Spanish-American War and the heyday of American imperialism in the Philippines. And in a sense, as the father of Douglas MacArthur, his influence extends well into our own century. The General's General is the first biography of Arthur MacArthur, and it clearly establishes his importance in American history."--Jacket.
