Harry Truman: The Man Who Ended the War | The True Story of Harry Truman

by Michael Miller

Harry S. Truman was never meant to be president. He had been selected as Franklin D. Roosevelt’s running mate almost as an afterthought, and was considered the blandest of the bland: decent, hardworking, and honest, but without the charisma or imagination to lead a nation. Most Americans barely knew his name. But with Roosevelt’s unexpected death, Truman found himself thrown into a wartime presidency with almost no preparation and with the future of the world at stake.

Truman: The Man Who Ended the War is the story of how Truman rose to that challenge to become one of the twentieth century’s most respected presidents. With his fundamental decency and unshakable principles, he guided his nation and the world through the end of World War II and the terrors of the early Cold War. Discounted by friends and enemies alike, he shocked them all by winning a second term in his own right. At the brink of disaster in the Korean War, he faced down the nation's most powerful general to preserve civilian rule and secure a stalemate."
