they think absolutely nothing of calling him douglas, and as douglas macarthur goes on to this great hero status, here are two men very much on a first-name basis with him. if you know anything about douglas macarthur there aren't many people who walked up to him and called him douglas. in fact his second wife, jean, is on record as always calling him general. and referring to him in her soft southern drawl as, my general. so, i think it's interesting from fdr's standpoint that the man who is so close to him in terms of being a counselor, really knows macarthur well, again, on a first-name basis, and i think those conversations between fdr and leahy, as leahy serves as his chief of staff, really go a long way to sort of helping roosevelt understand a little bit more who macarthur is. now, macarthur and roosevelt certainly knew each other from their days when roosevelt was assistant secretary of the navy during world war i. macarthur at that point, before he shipped off to the trenches of france, was actually in the war department, working for newton d. baker. interestingly enough, on

i think douglas macarthur fit that role very, very well. another theme in my book is as you mentioned about the myths and everything, i really try to get to the core of the truth about his relationship with u.s. navy. again, thomas hart who was commanding the fleet in the philippines in the early years is one of the persons who doesn't back to call him douglas. at one point mcarthur bristled a little bit because admiral hard to not have that many ships under his command in the asiatic fleet. mcarthur bristled a little bit and said well tommy, get yourself a real real fleet and then you will belong. the truth of the matter is that admiral hartz, at at that point was wearing four stars and macarthur was only wearing two stars. he was a couple of stars short and there's a little there in terms of ego at play. in terms of recent books and literature, or sometimes the emphasis on contention and how contentious things are. you begin to wonder a little bit how do these people really cooperate and actually be able to win a conflict and win a war. i

douglas macarthur realized that as well. one of the things i described in that chapter is the interesting cooperation between those two men that began to arise after roosevelt became president. surprised, they become partners and rebuild the u.s. army and help to rebuild the economy. i will read you this again for the background. then later, fdr says you must not talk that way to the president of the united states. >> that is about budget cuts to the u.s. army. first of all by hoover, not roosevelt. had takene serious -- a serious acts to funding axe to funding-- appropriations. roosevelt comes in with further cuts. the theme you are describing unfolding is roosevelt, the secretary of war and macarthur fighting it out over the implications of these budget cuts. with the u.s.d army be if these budget cuts for put into place? where did they come from, the quotes? >> a of that comes from his own account. >> i just vomited on the steps of the white house. >> this is very interesting. memorize -- memoirs he writes just before his

>> douglas macarthur was probably as popular an american as any juncture. they also realized they were dealing with an ego maniac. he was versus expect to people in washington. >> the political stakes were enormous. macarthur, nimitz, and king had no way of knowing. for that victory our navy had broke the crip toe graphic code used by the japanese. no one was supposed to know about it. but a day after the battle the "chicago tribune" printed the story and headline. it wasn't cleared of the government's censors, and fdr was furious. the president ordered attorney general francis biddle to be tried for treason, punishable by death but the navy didn't want a trial and refused to cooperate. nonetheless the secret was out. >> the japanese changed their main operational code at the end of may 1942 and again in august 1942. this effectively shut us out from actual decoding of japanese messages throughout the entire guadalcanal campaign. >> and the reality was the japanese army had never tasted it. i had crushed the americans in the philippines, the dutch in east i
