After the war it is the American who rebuilt the nation of Japan Japan had Douglas MacArthur, we got Eisenhower.
Nearly 50 years ago some local station in Missouri ran a ten or twelve part series with Truman, he really did not like MacArthur.

That's one reason why MacArthur was given Japan. It kept him out of US politics.

IMO, both were great leaders but with entirely different styles. MacArthur liked formality, fanfare, cameras, the limelight. Truman was informal, simple and didn’t like limelight. MacArthur’s headlines I am sure, just rubbed Truman raw.
