First edition of Courtney Whitney's MacArthur: His Rendezvous with History; Inscribed by Whitney and signed by General MacArthur
First edition of General Courtney Whitney's biography of General Douglas MacArthur. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Douglas MacArthur and inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Earle Machold, with cordial regard, Courtney Whitney." General Courtney Whitney was a member of MacArthur's staff during World War II and became his personal secretary after MacArthur was relieved of his command in Korea. Near fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. A very bright, unique example.
In MacArthur: His Rendezvous with History, close confidant and secretary Courtney Whitney covers the years 1941 to 1951 in MacArthur's dramatic career. Among the events not previously revealed in such detail are the story of the organization of guerrilla warfare in the Philippines, the dealings between Roosevelt and MacArthur before the General was ordered to go to Australia, and the role of the Navy in the Philippines.
