Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur, World War I. By LT. RALPH ESTEP – Original source: http://arcweb.archives.gov/arc/action/ExternalIdSearch?id=530758 This media is available in the holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration

 

My latest at the Diplomat is a bit of a companion piece to last week’s counterfactual on the Korean War:

Newly available testimony from the Korean War has shed some light on why the war remained limited, and on how the Americans viewed the extent of their commitment to the peninsula. Testimony in the investigation of the firing of General Douglas MacArthur indicate how the Joint Chiefs of Staff understood the military situation in early 1951, as MacArthur called for the U.S. Air Force to escalate the conflict by bombing China directly.
