Book Talk: MacArthur Reconsidered, Sept. 18
48 Professors Row
Medford MA 02155
Join CHAT and the History department of Tufts on Monday, September 18 at 12 p.m. for a special conversation with James Ellman about his new book, MacArthur: Reconsidered.
Many argue General Douglas MacArthur was the most gifted military leader this nation has ever produced. Others believe he was a dangerous narcissist and a mediocre general who defied a president in an effort to start a Third World War. A close reading of the historical record yields a decision much closer to the latter more negative assessment of MacArthur.
James Ellman explores his career--his accomplishments, failures, and his philosophies-- in order to assess this complicated historical figure.
Join us on Monday, September 18th to meet James Ellman and discuss this fascinating reconsideration of a key figure of American history.
This event is open to all. For questions, please email humanities@tufts.edu.
