Until a few months before he assumed office in April 1945 – charged first with ending the Second World War and then with managing the transition to a “Cold War” with the Soviet Union – it is unlikely he ever seriously thought about the White House.

Yet today many judge him to have been a great, or nearly great, holder of the office.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePaperback ISBN: 978-1-911187-67-7\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eContents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA failed haberdasher: from Independence to the White House, 1884-1945\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Cold War, 1945-1948  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy did Truman drop the atomic bomb? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe whistlestop campaign, 1948 28 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Fair Deal  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKorea and McCarthy, 1949-1953 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarry Truman and the historians \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOTES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFive facts about Harry S.
