520 2  "At the height of the Korean War, President Harry S. 
       Truman committed a gaffe that sent shock waves around the 
       world, when he suggested that General Douglas MacArthur, 
       the willful, fearless, and highly decorated commander of 
       the American and U.N. forces, had his finger on the 
       nuclear trigger. At a time when the Soviets, too, had the 
       bomb, the specter of a catastrophic third World War lurked
       menacingly close on the horizon. A correction quickly 
       followed, but the damage was done; two visions for 
       America's path forward were clearly in opposition, and one
       man would have to make way. The contest of wills between 
       these two titanic characters unfolds against the turbulent
       backdrop of a faraway war and terrors conjured at home by 
       Joseph McCarthy. From the drama of Stalin's blockade of 
       West Berlin to the daring landing of MacArthur's forces at
       Inchon to the shocking entrance of China into the war, The
       General and the President vividly evokes the making of a 
       new American era."--|cProvided by publisher
