Six months before President Harry S. Truman's dramatic recall of
General Douglas MacArthur after the two disagreed about the future
course of the Korean War, political cartoonist John Chase ridiculed
the president's capacities as a military leader with this caricature
of the commander-in- chief dwarfed by his general's outsized hat.
