Harry Truman was an ordinary man of few expectations who for eight drama-filled years as president guided the nation through a series of world threatening events. In this unique biography relive the dramatic events of those momentous years by listening to the voice of Truman himself. An accompanying CD features 25 of Truman's most engaging speeches including:
- His speech to Congress given on April 16, 1945 just days after assuming the presidency in the wake of FDR's death
- Truman's victory speech on V-E Day
- His farewell address to the nation in January, 1953
Truman's speeches and straight-from-the-shoulder remarks come alive here and highlight the defining moments of his presidency during which the little man from Missouri stopped the worldwide march of Soviet communism and saved America from another catastrophic war.
