About the Book

This biography tells the little-known story of lifelong ambassador and diplomat Doug MacArthur, the nephew of General Douglas MacArthur, and his wife, Wahwee. Through interviews and firsthand accounts from those who knew him, this biography of the prominent 20th-century emissary sheds light on the important role Ambassador MacArthur had in foreign affairs post-World War II. This unique work shows how MacArthur had a rich career as a professional diplomat, was a member of the French Resistance, a prisoner of war, a political and military advisor to President Eisenhower, Assistant Secretary of State, and postwar security treaty negotiator with Japan. This collection of oral histories on both Doug and his wife gives fresh insight into their professional and personal lives.

About the Author :
Thomas R. Hutson served as staff aide to Ambassador MacArthur in Tehran in 1970 and 1971. He is a diplomatic associate for the Center of Afghanistan Studies at the University of Nebraska and at Iowa State University. He lives in Thurman, Iowa. Dominic B. I. A. Tzimisces served as an analyst for more than 20 years in the United States Air Force. He lives in Omaha, Nebraska.

Review :
"If you want to have a taste of the time when America was truly Number One, this lovely little book will give you a delicious one. Douglas MacArthur II, the general's nephew, was a diplomat who held high posts in the American Foreign Service during much of the mid 20th century; the sparkling Wahwee was his sometimes mercurial wife. Together with accounts of Cold War maneuvering, reminiscences by those who knew Doug and Wahwee during a time of tension and danger provide insights into the making of a gentleman and his devotion to duty; but also the making of smiles because they recall a good deal of highly entertaining fun." --George Feifer, Author of Moscow Farewell, The Battle of Okinawa, and Breaking Open Japan
