Placed in charge of the newly created Southwest Pacific Area, MacArthur was desperate to retain his new post so that he might reconquer the Philippines and, in so doing, reclaim his honor. Thus began the daily issuance of communiques from his headquarters that related a grueling World War II campaign of more than a thousand days as Allied forces fought a relentless enemy from the northern shores of Australia to the heart of Manila.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Never before available in print, this volume of communiques brings to life the regular updates issued to a public anxious for news of the great advance across the Southwest Pacific. These daily pronouncements present not only a record of the campaign but also a master class of public relations management as MacArthur attempted to portray himself as the great hero deserving of enduring fame regardless of the truth prevailing on the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Ellman\u003c\/b\u003e is an investor and historian who lives in Kailua, Hawaii.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 271\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52634728071475,"sku":"9781476693200","price":96.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/uXFVpMFthG9781476693200.webp?v=1762250077","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/communiques-of-general-macarthur-pacific-campaigns-july-1942-february-1945-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
