Description: If you ever wondered whether your hero had a hero of his own, this account of the heroes of ten famous men will prove illuminating as well as exciting. With historical accuracy and a wealth of lively anecdotes, the author develops the lives of his heroe's heroes so that we understand why George Washington selected  his half-brother , Lawrence Washington, as his model; we see how the career of General Douglas MacArthur paralleled that of his here, his father, Lt. Gen. Arthur MacArthur.  These and the other hereo's heroes in this book make this inspired reading. (dust jacket)
