Description:
General Douglas MacArthur is considered by many to be the greatest American military hero in history. In The American Experience: MacArthur we get the chance to look in depth at this complex man. At times paranoid and poetic, inspirational and petty, his belief in his own destiny was so strong that he seemed to expect his victories as his due. The filmmakers present his story with newsreel and military footage, as well as with thoughtful interviews with historians, aides, journalists, and soldiers under his command. From West Point through two World Wars, his presiding over the reconstruction of Japan, and his firing at the hands of Harry Truman over the war in Korea, MacArthur weaves an epic tale of his larger-than-life feats and his return again and again to the center of global action. Revered on both sides of the Pacific, General MacArthur left a legacy that must not be forgotten. --Rob Lightner
