The Meeting at Wake Island

from MacArthur Memorial Podcast

On October 15, 1950, President Harry S. Truman and General Douglas MacArthur met on Wake Island. Five and a half years into Truman’s presidency, it was their first meeting. Given the extreme differences that ultimately emerged between both men, many look to the meeting at Wake Island for hints of the drama to come. This month’s podcast will address why the meeting took place and what actually happened there.Have a comment about this episode? Send us a text message!
