About this ebook
This biography tells the little-known story of lifelong ambassador and diplomat Doug MacArthur, the nephew of General Douglas MacArthur, and his wife, Wahwee. Through interviews and firsthand accounts from those who knew him, this biography of the prominent 20th-century emissary sheds light on the important role Ambassador MacArthur had in foreign affairs post–World War II. This unique work shows how MacArthur had a rich career as a professional diplomat, was a member of the French Resistance, a prisoner of war, a political and military advisor to President Eisenhower, Assistant Secretary of State, and postwar security treaty negotiator with Japan. This collection of oral histories on both Doug and his wife gives fresh insight into their professional and personal lives.
