Publishers Description: An examination of the two leading generals of the Allied forces in the Pacific during World War II, American MacArthur and Australian Blamey, focusing on their uses of personal self-promotion. Author Gallaway, a journalist, demonstrates that MacArthur was a master at using the press, constantly manufacturing releases to cast himself in a favorable light, and became a world-heralded hero, where as Blamey, also a brilliant tactician with even more experience than MacArthur but without MacArthurs flair for self-promotion, was removed as Commander-In-Chief in December of 1945 to eventually die, six years later, a lonely man.
