I also read William Manchester's "American Caesar" (MacArthur's life story) over the Christmas holiday. Years ago I found Manchester's autobiography of his service in Pacific theatre of WWII fascinating--Goodbye, Darkness

I also read "Flyboys," by James Bradley earlier this year and enjoyed it. Its another Pacific diary that spins along.
I wish I'd interviewed my dad on his service (and a crash landing) in the China-Burma-India Campaign. He died in 1966.
