MacArthur's Busy September 1945
from MacArthur Memorial Podcast Hosted by MacArthur Memorial
Even historians who loathe General MacArthur tend to agree that the administration of the Occupation of Japan was MacArthur at his best. However, many people don’t realize how much was happening in just the first month of the Occupation, how much could have gone wrong, and how deftly MacArthur was managing a very fluid situation.
