520    At twenty-six, Douglas MacArthur was military aide to 
       President Theodore Roosevelt. His courageous leadership of
       the Rainbow Division during World War I made him a 
       general. At the same time, his reluctance to heed any 
       authority but his own gained him a reputation of arrogance
       and insubordination that was to shadow his entire career. 
       As MacArthur helped guide a defeated Japan to democracy, 
       it was remarked that he himself tolerated no democratic 
       questioning of his commands. When he was summoned from 
       Japan to take command of the desperately beleaguered 
       forces in Korea, the conflict between duty and pride 
       brought his career to a dramatic conclusion. With 
       brilliant generalship he saved his army from defeat, only 
       to be removed from his post when he refused to obey the 
       president himself. Douglas MacArthurs deeds were of heroic
       proportion, but he is, and will continue to be, one of 
       Americas most controversial figures.
