Douglas MacArthur established his military reputation at the hill of Châtillon during the great battle of the Meuse-Argonne in World War I; he boasted to a fellow general that he had inspired his troops by example, taking the hill and breaking the main German line in northern France. Ferrell has gone into Army records to determine if what MacArthur claimed was true. In a moment-by-moment account of the battle, he reconstructs the movements of troops and the decisions of officers to show in detail how MacArthur s subordinates were the true heroes.
