AMERICAN CAESAR by William Manchester

I just turned the last page of William Manchester's AMERICAN CAESAR. It was quite moving to learn that Douglas MacArthur died on my seventh birthday. Manchester may be the best ever writer of non-fiction. He is the one writer that I take very few notes when reading. If I tried to document everything of interest I would be copying the entire book. This is another book that must be on the essential reading list.
