I thought this was a very good book. So little has been written about Post World War II in Japan that it was quite entertaining. MacArthur was as gifted a leader off the battlefield as he was on the battlefield.

The book was a little bit dry in some places but overall it was a good read. I think the only area the author went off track was when he editorialized and compared the post war occupations of Japan with Iraq. They were a totally different ball game.

One thumb up. ( )
