AMSE Science Report: Walter Borneman recently spoke to us about his book, MacArthur at War: World War II in the Pacific
About this episode
Noted historian Walter Borneman recently spoke to us about his book, MacArthur at War: World War II in the Pacific. Few characters loom as large in that war than Douglas MacArthur, and Walt's book gives a terrific look at how this enigmatic man helped lead our nation to victory over the Japanese.
After his narrow escape from the Philippines as the Japanese invaded, MacArthur set up his headquarters in Australia in a time that looked very bad for the allies. Walt offers unique perspective on MacArthur's field of operations as the allies began to turn the tables against the Japanese empire.
