Biography & Memoir
American Caesar
by William Manchester
9
I went into this book hating MacArthur. I finished it hating him much less. Apparently the author had the same experience in writing it. Either way, it's a first-rate biography from my second-favorite historian. (Barbara Tuchman is still #1.) Manchester is genuinely funny, relentlessly fair, and has collected some of the most remarkable anecdotes I've ever read.
