Description
In Truman's first four months in office, this unlikely president had to take on Germany, Japan, Stalin, and the atomic bomb, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Chosen as FDR's fourth term Vice President for his work ethic, good judgment, and lack of enemies, Truman was thrust in over his head after FDR's sudden death. Baime escorts readers into the situation room with Truman during this tumultuous, history-making 120 days, when the stakes were high and the challenges even higher.
