Summary

Seen by many as one of America’s greatest presidents, Harry S. Truman was, in many ways, an unexpected president. He came from a very undistinguished background and is, in fact, the only US president in recent history with the honor of being a college dropout.

Despite what he may have lacked in formal education, Truman was a quick learner from the real-life experience he was given on the world stage. As president, he gets the credit for some major milestones in American policy, such as the creation of NATO, the desegregation of the armed services, and the successful undertaking of the Berlin Airlift, just to name a few. Here, in this in-depth and thought-provoking book, we cover the dynamic life and powerful legacy of President Harry S. Truman in full.
