Seymour Morris Jr. combines political history, military biography, and business management to tell the story of General Douglas MacArthur’s tremendous success in rebuilding Japan after World War II in Supreme Commander, a lively, in-depth work of biographical history complementary to The Generals, The Storm of War, and Truman.
He is the most decorated general in American history—and the only five five-star general to receive the Medal of Honor. Yet Douglas MacArthur’s greatest victory was not in war but in peace.
As the uniquely titled Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, he was charged with transforming a defeated, militarist empire into a beacon of peace and democracy—“the greatest gamble ever attempted,” he called it. A career military man, MacArthur had no experience in politics, diplomacy, or economics. A vain, reclusive, and self-centered man, his many enemies in Washington thought he was a flaming peacock, and few, including President Harry Truman’s closest advisors, gave him a chance of succeeding. Yet MacArthur did so brilliantly, defying timetables and expectations.
Supreme Commander tells for the first time, the story of how MacArthur’s leadership achieved a nation-building success that had never been attempted before—and never replicated since. Seymour Morris Jr. reveals this flawed man at his best who treated a defeated enemy with respect; who made informed and thoughtful decisions yet could be brash and stubborn when necessary, and who lead the Occupation with intelligence, class, and compassion.
Morris analyzes MacArthur’s key tactical choices, explaining how each contributed to his accomplishment, and paints a detailed picture of a true patriot—a man of conviction who proved to be an outstanding and effective leader in the most extraordinary circumstances.

Excellent Mr. Moor (?),
MacArthur is my hero. Thank you very much.
I’ve uploaded the Author Herman biography of him here, also there’s the William Manchester one. I find Herman’s is preferable. Also HW Brands one is fun, a short read though.
Thank you.

MacArthur is one of the Mac/Mc generals who failed to properly understand civilian control of the military and had to be dismissed by the President.
It would be interesting if we had had a successful reconstruction plan in China akin to the European Marshall plan or what MacArthur was able to do in Japan. (As a side note, when I was in Japan, my friend explained how the yakuza was instrumental in getting the economy going again.)

@Ike - The Mafia/Camorra in Italy are similarly intertwined with economic life. However, in “p’haps” a more parasitic manner. They always siphon off necessary EU structural funding for more economically deprived regions; and following natural disasters/earthquakes, they dip their beak into EU disaster relief & general charity aid - by helping to “administer” the funds.
So, our money ends up in their avaricious pockets; an intensely frustrating affair!
Also of interest: the great Barbara Tuchman’s work, as background - https://biographyaudio.org/audio-books/stilwell-and-the-american-experience-in-china-1911-45-barbara-w-tuchman-2/
