A sympathetic account of MacArthur by a friend from WWI. In all of American history there is no more heroic, dramatic and inspiring chapter than that which began in July, 1941, when General Douglas MacArthur, recalled to active service in the United States Army, began the almost impossible task of preparing the Philippines for immediate war.

The life of General Sir Archibald Hunter, a remarkable and formidable Victorian soldier who was promoted to Major-General at the age of 40 - the youngest man to reach this rank since Wellington. He planned and fought the battles that won the Sudan for Kitchener. He also served in the Boer War displaying great daring during the Siege of Ladysmith. Commanding 17,000 troops, he cleverly cornered and captured over 4000 Boer commandos. During WWI he was mysteriously sidelined, training Kitchener's armies.

A Christmas card thought to be from the author and his wife to the previous owner is inside the front board. The dustjacket is very marked but complete, the text and boards are very good except for the first 3 pages which have a small damp mark and rippling at the bottom. The author who has had a very colourful and distinguished career describes his experiences during the Second World War with the Maquis behind enemy lines in France. In order to return to France during 1944 he had had to have plastic surgery to disguise his features from the Nazis.
