Whether masterminding strategy and fighting on the front lines to secure Allied victory in World War I and World War II, or guiding war-torn nations to recovery in peacetime, five-star General Douglas MacArthur faced every challenge with unwavering courage and resolve.

The general began his honored army career by leading his fellow cadets at West Point and ultimately commanded all U.S. forces in Asia.
