| dc.description.abstract | It is my contention that the MacArthur controversy was an important watershed in both inter-factional struggle in the military and in the adjustment of the American military to the changing environment in which they operated. On the one hand was MacArthur and his supporters, and on the other, in opposition, were Marshall, Bradley and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The object of this essay is to examine the role of the military elite in the dismissal of MacArthur from command and the effect of this event upon the attitudes of the military establishment. It is my purpose to examine the effect of various personal and policy rivalries among the military upon the events leading to the downfall of MacArthur. [From Prologue] | en_US |
