Dedication: Dedicated to General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander-in-Chief in the Pacific War Zone, whose gallant defence, and brilliant leadership of the American, British and Australian Forces in the Pacific Theatre, has inspired all lovers of liberty. The circumstance that a member of the MacArthur Clan, Captain John MacArthur, with whom this book deals, struck a might blow for freedom a century earlier in Australia's history, may not be without significance. "And were they of that ancient Clan That had one standard for a man And that a bonny free-man."
