Reviewed in Claremont Review of Books (June 1, 2025): In a review of The Fate of the Generals, Victor Davis Hanson wrote, "Horn has examined much of Wainwright’s previously ignored diaries and personal correspondence which for the first time provide a vivid picture of the conditions he endured and his own confusion about his relationship with MacArthur.... Horn is too good a historian, however, to obsess over MacArthur’s bothersome character flaws, vanities, and egotism. And so, he leaves us with a paradox of human nature: that the supremely talented but flawed human being whom we may not admire, we may well need—and treat better than we do his moral superior."
