Description:
It is 1945, and General Douglas MacArthur has engineered the Allied triumph in the Pacific. Captain Jay Marsh spends his days eagerly attending MacArthur, awestruck by his dazzling commander. But as he witnesses MacArthur's calculated effort to become an American Caesar and imperiously rule his conquered Japanese subjects, Marsh becomes ensnared in an inescapable web of intrigue. MacArthur's unlikely ally in his ambitions is Japan's Emperor Hirohito, who, along with top members of the Imperial government, has insidious personal reasons for encouraging MacArthur's quest for power. Marsh also learns of MacArthur's passionate 40-year affair with a Filipina aristocrat, a revelation that eventually confounds Marsh's own devotion to the beautiful Manila woman he has fallen in love with.
Expand description
Culminating in the spurious trial of Japan's greatest warrior, The Emperor's General is a brilliantly imagined portrait of the human costs of diplomacy and politics. Turning a rigorous eye toward MacArthur's ego-driven miscalculations and the tragic misdeeds committed by both sides in assigning blame for the war's atrocities, James Webb has crafted an extraordinary novel from a spellbinding chapter in American history.
