Douglas MacArthur, the triumph and the tragedy...
His military ability at Inchon and subsequently was remarkable.
His failure to respond to political control and discipline was disastrous.
Truman: "I believe that we must try to limit war to Korea for these vital reasons: to make sure that the precious lives of our fighting men are not wasted; to see that the security of our country and the free world is not needlessly jeopardized; and to prevent a third world war.
A number of events have made it evident that General MacArthur did not agree with that policy. I have therefore considered it essential to relieve General MacArthur so that there would be no doubt or confusion as to the real purpose and aim of our policy."
