More from Harry Truman
"The American people are the best people in the world, but they can be damn fools sometimes."
"It's an awful thing to be a President. You can't just go out and buy a new suit without someone saying you're extravagant."
"The only thing I ever did that was really popular was to fire General MacArthur."
"I never had any ambition to be President. I never wanted to be President. But I did my best."
"The greatest danger to American institutions is the man who thinks he knows it all."
About Harry Truman (1884-1972)
33rd US President who ended WWII (atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki), founded NATO and the Marshall Plan, and integrated the US military. Closely associated with Franklin D. Roosevelt (his predecessor) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (his successor). For an intellectual contrast, see Henry A. Wallace, FDR's progressive Vice President (1941-1945) — Wallace was the VP Truman replaced on the 1944 ticket; Wallace's 1948 Progressive Party campaign attacked Truman from the left for starting the Cold War — the moral road not taken at the dawn of the atomic age.
