Reviews
"It seemed to me that I was born to live in the diplomatic world, with its playful, smart double-talk, historic stakes, and immersion into powerful, exotic cultures. I knew I was a natural, and that the longer I played this game the more I might flourish. It was almost as though I had grown into manhood serving General Douglas MacArthur." "A rich, sweeping epic of a novel, packed with political intrigue, military machinations, a unique love story, and historical characters who come alive on each page. . . . An absolute winner." --Nelson DeMille "Powerfully compelling and moving . . . historical fiction of a high order. Webb fuses fact and fictional experience through hypnotic storytelling, giving a human face to the victims of war, including its criminals, strategists, heroes, and lovers. Towering above them all is the mesmerizing figure of MacArthur, a flawed titan made palpable by Webb." --Publishers Weekly "InThe Emperor's General, James Webb offers it all: a haunting love story set amid an extraordinary period in U.S. history, a psychological drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's a page-turning tour de force that examines our morality and makes us question what we ourselves would have done." --Nicholas Sparks, author ofThe NotebookandMessage in a Bottle "[A] superior historical novel . . . exceptional. Highly recommended." --Library Journal "This compelling, fascinating exercise of historical fiction proves, again, that Jim Webb is as fine a novelist as he was a marine. Enough said." --George F. Will "WithThe Emperor's General, Jim Webb cements his reputation as an extraordinarily gifted storyteller. . . . An engrossing, moving, and splendid book." --John McCain, United States senator, "It seemed to me that I was born to live in the diplomatic world, with its playful, smart double-talk, historic stakes, and immersion into powerful, exotic cultures.

Synopsis
From the bestselling author ofFields of Firecomes a provocative novel of historical intrigue, gripping drama, and haunting romance suffused with the mystery and seduction of the Orient. 1997. Jay Marsh, Wall Street millionaire and grand old man of the diplomatic corps, takes a sentimental journey to the scene of his first triumphs and agonies, Manila, where as a brash young captain during World War Two he served as aide-de-camp and confidant to General Douglas MacArthur. Marsh sees beyond the glittery capital of today to the horrifying days of 1945. The retreating Japanese army had devastated everything in its wake. The city was set ablaze and one hundred thousand innocents were slaughtered. Marsh was forced to leave behind his Filipino fiancée and accompany MacArthur to Japan. Now, as the senior statesman stands in the serene garden of the ambassador's residence, his mind reels back in time. . . . In the final days of the war in the Pacific, the Philippines are retaken by the Allies under the command of General MacArthur, paving the way for Japan's surrender. But for MacArthur, victory over Japan is only a stepping-stone to greater glory: supreme rule over the conquered country and its eighty-three million inhabitants who, until then, were his blood enemies. MacArthur enlists Captain Marsh to be his emissary to the imperial government, a mission that takes the junior officer into the shadow world of postwar Tokyo. As Marsh undertakes the delicate task of opening a dialogue with the emperor, he becomes ensnared in a web of deceit, witnesses a grave injustice, commits a life-altering act of betrayal--and discovers shocking truths about MacArthur the world was never meant to know. Masterfully written and highly evocative,The Emperor's Generalis the story of MacArthur's bold and calculating transition from wartime general to "American Caesar," and of his enormous ego, his personal demons, and the glaring miscalculations he made in bargaining with the Japanese. It is the story of Japan's dominant ruling class manipulating the American occupiers as they enter an arcane country whose rules and traditions have always baffled Westerners; of frantic scrambling on both sides to assign accountability for aggression and war crimes that approached those of the Nazis; and, in the person of narrator Jay Marsh, it is the all too human story of a young man's bitter coming of age--and of the conflicting demands of duty, honor, and love. From the battlefields and command posts of the Philippines to the royal palaces and geisha houses of Japan,The Emperor's Generalis an extraordinary saga of a spellbinding chapter in American history.
