The Most Dangerous Man in America: The Making of Douglas Macarthur
Douglas MacArthur is one of the most controversial generals in American history – and one of the most brilliant. His legacy was colored by his outsized personality, his self-importance, and his disregard for civilian authority. Yet he conquered more territory with fewer men than any general in World War II. In this book, celebrated historian Mark Perry rehabilitates this paradox of a man, examining how he led America to victory in the Pacific and reshaped modern warfare in the process.
A compelling new appraisal of Douglas MacArthur, The Most Dangerous Man in America is a penetrating account of a true military genius, a man who continues to be celebrated and misunderstood in equal measure.

Financially, Poly I. Emenike achieved a lot through the books authored or co-authored by Dr. Hill. It is worthy of note that about 95% of the material wealth he have acquired in life was inspired by the Principle of Success teachings espoused in Dr. Napoleon Hill’s various writings. Thus, the business, which he commenced with a capital of about $2.00 (300 Naira) on July 14, 1975, being his 2 year earnings, working as an office boy in his Uncle’s Law firm, has today blossomed into a multi-million dollar business empire. Added to this is the fact that at a time when it looked like he would end up with only primary school educational qualification, he was inspired to further his educational pursuit owing to the enormous inspirations he drew from reading Dr. Hill’s writings. Today, Mr. Emenike has not only acquired secondary education but also a University education at the highest level. In other words, Dr. Hill’s books have had a catalytic effect on his desire to become an educated business man; he now possesses good University degrees at the Bachelors and Masters Level from a very reputable university in Nigeria, University of Lagos.
