Description:
From the back cover: "Chosen by destiny to guide a great nation through one of its most turbulent periods, Harry Truman's no-nonsense manner and controversial governing style earned him the adoration of many and the enmity of countless others. But behind his folksy demeanor was a brilliant manipulator of events - a grand master of the game of international politics who orchestrated the final movements of one great war and conducted America into a second, who stood firm against dictators, zealots and dangerous insubordination within the upper ranks of the U.S. Military. And it was Harry S. Truman who made the most fateful decision of the 20th century - one that changed the course of history and ushered in the Cold War: the use of atomic weapons against the empire of Japan. "Very Good+ condition. Clean and Tight.Please use photos as part of the description. Book includes a black and white photos section.602 pages including Index

Description:
From the back cover: "The life of Harry S. Truman is one of the greatest of American stories, filled with vivid characters - Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bess Wallace Truman, George Marshall, Joe McCarthy, and Dean Acheson - and dramatic events. In this riveting biography...not only captures the man...but also the turbulent times in which he rose, boldly, to meet unprecedented challenges. The last president to serve as a living link between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries, Truman's story spans the raw world of the Missouri frontier, World War I, the powerful Pendergast machine of Kansas City, the legendary Whistle-Stop Campaign of 1948, and the decisions to drop the atomic bomb, confront Stalin at Potsdam, send troops to Korea, and fire General MacArthur....McCullough tells the deeply moving story of the seemingly ordinary "man from Missouri" who was perhaps the most courageous president in our history."Very Good condition. Paperback with three sections of black and… Read More
