'An exceptional study of the leadership and command exercised by General Douglas MacArthur in the largest military campaign in the Pacific War - the triumphal return of U.S. forces to the Philippines. Written by Professor Peter Mansoor, one of the foremost soldier-scholars of our time (and my Executive Officer during the Surge in Iraq), Redemption is a compelling, fascinating, and enthralling examination of MacArthur's exercise of strategic command – one that includes a particularly superb account of the often overlooked and important contribution of the Filipino guerrilla movement to the overall campaign. Redemption is a must read for all readers interested in leadership, history, and warfare!' David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.); former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan; former Director of the CIA; and author of the New York Times' bestseller, Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from Ukraine to Gaza
