HARRY TRUMAN
Like all Presidents of the United States, Harry Truman made both good and bad decisions. Both of these types of choices had lasting effects on our country and its foreign relations.
As you will soon discover, Truman served as President during some of the most challenging times in the history of the United States. He was sworn in during the 2nd World War, and as such had a lot of difficult decisions to make during a time of tumult, especially when the war was nearing its end. Many of his decisions, both during the war and afterwards are hotly debated to this day.
This biography of our 33rd President is not here to only focus on the good and ignore the bad. It’s here to portray the facts, showcase what Harry S. Truman had to deal with in the Oval Office, as well as outline the steps in his early life that took him to the Presidency. This book also covers his life after the Presidency and details how he transitioned from making decisions that affected a whole nation to back to being a regular Joe.
