When General Douglas MacArthur led Allied troops into the jungles of New Guinea in World War II, he placed his armies in a position to fulfill his personal promise to liberate the Philippines. Here, historian Stephen Taaffe writes the definitive history of that assault, showing why it succeeded, what it contributed to the overall strategy against Japan, and offers a balanced assessment of MacArthur's leadership and limitations. 10 maps. |
