Harry S. Truman: The Soldier from Independence - D.M. Giangreco
Harry S. Truman’s military credentials are dismissed by some as footnotes in the former president’s career. Join D.M.

“Three things ruin a man…Power, money, and women. I never wanted power, I never had any money, and the only woman in my life is up at the house right now.”
That was a quote not from me, Mr. Beat, but from a dude who was never supposed to be president. But he was!
A dude who never even sought to be a LEADER, but who history FORCED to be one of the greatest leaders in American history.
A dude who failed at multiple business ventures and even went bankrupt.
A dude who, after he was president, moved back into the same house he lived in back when he went bankrupt, and then went into debt again because his only income was an Army pension of $112.56 a month. That’s less than $1300 a month in today’s money.
A dude who never wanted the job, and a dude who no one had heard of before he was 50 years old.
Here is the story of Harry Truman, the most average person to ever become president.

Presidency of Harry S. Truman: Part I

Alan Brinkley, professor of history at Columbia University; Melvyn Leffler, professor of history at the University of Virginia; and Clifton Truman Daniel, grandson of Harry S. Truman, discuss the Truman presidency. This is the first in a two-part series.
The death of Franklin Roosevelt catapulted Harry S. Truman, former farm boy, World War I soldier, failed haberdasher, and district judge turned US senator, into the 33rd president of the United States.
With a candor that was to be his trademark, he shared with the world his own misgivings at the turn of events that made him president. "I pray to God," he quipped, "that I can measure up to the task." As the historian, Alan Nevins, wrote, "This mixture of modesty and confidence was part of Truman's great appeal." While he made his share of mistakes, "To err is Truman," carped one critic, he also faced a myriad of difficult issues in a distinctly clear-sighted and confident manner. The very fact that someone so seemingly like us could come to power in such extraordinary times helps explain in part the position President Truman continues to hold in our nation's memory.
