Douglas MacArthur
Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) was the most prominent American general of the Pacific War and commander of UN forces at the outset of the Korean War. His daring Inchon landing (September 1950) reversed North Korea's initial conquest of the South. His public advocacy for expanding the war into China led President Truman to relieve him of command in April 1951, establishing the principle of civilian control over military strategy in the nuclear age.
