Histria Books Announces the Release of Duty, Honor, Country: The Life of Arthur MacArthur, Jr. by A.K. Brackob
Las Vegas, NV, November 20, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of Duty, Honor, Country: The Life of Arthur MacArthur, Jr. by A.K. Brackob. The book is published by Vita Histria, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to academic publishing.
On September 15, 1906, Arthur MacArthur Jr. became the twelfth man in the history of the United States Army to be awarded the rank of Lieutenant General, the highest rank in the Army up to that time. This great honor, which marked the culmination of MacArthur's brilliant military career, included him in the ranks of such outstanding American military leaders as George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, and William Tecumseh Sherman, all of whom had previously held this rank. This bespeaks of the importance of Arthur MacArthur as a figure in American history, yet invariably when the name MacArthur is mentioned today it is almost immediately associated with his son Douglas. Arthur MacArthur is, however, equally deserving of recognition as a great military leader.
Based on extensive archival research, Duty, Honor, Country reveals the remarkable career of this great patriot and his contribution to American history. This is all the more important because, to fully understand the career of his famous son, Douglas, who had such a profound impact on the military history of the United States in the twentieth century, it is essential to study the life and career of Arthur MacArthur Jr who began his military career as a mere boy fighting for the 23rd Wisconsin infantry regiment during the Civil War. Douglas MacArthur was himself conscious of the profound influence his father had upon his life. Douglas once said, "Of all men I have known my father was the one I most respected and admired." A.K. Brackob has a Ph.D. in history from the University of Illinois.
Duty, Honor, Country: The Life of Arthur MacArthur, Jr., 232 pp., ISBN 978-1-59211-024-7, is available at HistriaBooks.com and from all major book retailers. Titles published under the various imprints of Histria Books are distributed worldwide by the Casemate Group.
