More from Harry Truman
"My choice in 1944 was not my own. I was drafted. It was just as much a draft as if I had been drafted into the Army."
"Whenever you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship."
"I've had more fun in a county courthouse than I have in the White House."
"I pray God that I may be able to be worthy of the confidence that has been placed in me."
"I don't believe in a super race or a super people. I believe in a super individual who is a product of a super race."
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.
