  MacArthur Reconsidered - General...

  James Ellman

  One of America's most controversial generals, Douglas MacArthur's rise through the US Army's ranks was meteoric. However, he did not lead large formations of men in combat until he assumed command of forces in the Philippines in 1941. When war commenced with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, MacArthur's performance on the battlefield was a failure: he underestimated the Japanese, and his poorly trained forces were outmaneuvered and outfought by a much smaller invading force. 
   
   
   
  In his subsequent role as America's shogun in Tokyo, MacArthur was again surprised by an enemy he underestimated. The Korean War yielded his greatest victory, at Inchon, but also his greatest defeat, along the Yalu River. Unwilling to accept anything but complete victory, he openly defied President Truman: MacArthur fatally undermined chances for an early peace and attempted to widen a conflict which threatened to become a third world war. Raging against his subsequent firing, he only truly faded away after he was publicly criticized by a panoply of America's greatest WWII generals. 
   
   
   
  Today, MacArthur still polarizes. Many biographies agree he was a great and patriotic leader marred by a few failures. James Ellman argues the opposite: MacArthur was a lackluster battlefield commander who suffered stunning defeats while undermining the command structure of our military.

  1941: THE WAR BECOMES GLOBAL -...

  1941: THE WAR BECOMES GLOBAL The Second World War, Volume Three 
  The world caught fire in 1939. In 1941, the fire became a furnace. 
  In twelve months, the Second World War is transformed beyond recognition. A compact German general steps off a transport in Tripoli and begins rewriting the rules of desert warfare. Three million men surge across the Soviet frontier in the largest land invasion in human history, and behind them come the killing squads. On a quiet Sunday morning in Hawaii, the last great power on earth is dragged into the flames. By December, the war has consumed Europe, North Africa, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the vast interior of the Soviet Union. It has become, at last, a world war in every meaning of the phrase. 
  This third volume in Quentin Drummond Anderson's acclaimed seven-volume narrative history follows 1941 chapter by chapter through its cascade of defining moments. Rommel arrives in Africa with two divisions and reverses six months of British victories in three weeks. The Hood — symbol of British naval supremacy — is destroyed in eight minutes. Barbarossa sends three million men across the Soviet border into one of the most savage campaigns in military history. And at Pearl Harbor, the United States is pulled into a conflict that will reshape the world for generations. 
  But 1941: The War Becomes Global does not flinch from the darkest material. The Einsatzgruppen — the mobile killing units that followed the Wehrmacht into the Soviet Union — are not a footnote here. They are part of the story of Barbarossa, inseparable from it. The military history and the history of the Holocaust are not parallel stories in 1941. They are the same story. 
  Written with the narrative drive of the finest military fiction and the rigour of serious scholarship, this is history lived from the inside — through the soldiers in the snow outside Moscow, the sailors on the Arctic convoys, the aircrews over Pearl Harbor, and the civilians in the cellars of Leningrad.

  For over thirty years, Opening the Hand of Thought has offered an introduction to Zen Buddhism and meditation unmatched in clarity and power. This is the revised edition of Kosho Uchiyama's singularly incisive classic. 
   
   
   
  This new edition contains even more useful material: new prefaces, an index, and extended endnotes, in addition to a revised glossary. As Jisho Warner writes in her preface, Opening the Hand of Thought "goes directly to the heart of Zen practice . . . showing how Zen Buddhism can be a deep and life-sustaining activity." She goes on to say, "Uchiyama looks at what a person is, what a self is, how to develop a true self not separate from all things, one that can settle in peace in the midst of life." 
   
   
   
  By turns humorous, philosophical, and personal, Opening the Hand of Thought is above all a great book for the Buddhist practitioner. It's a perfect follow-up for the listener who has heard Zen Meditation in Plain English and is especially useful for those who have not yet encountered a Zen teacher.
