Features: On April 12, 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt passed away suddenly during his fourth term in office. Many members of Roosevelt's advisory team doubted whether Vice President Harry S. Truman could the role of the highest leader, especially during this critical period of World War II, and the blunt Missourian Truman seemed to lack Roosevelt's experience and political savvy. History has proven these concerns to be unnecessary. Over the following eight years, President Truman made several extremely significant decisions and formulated historic decisions for the United States in the 20th century. Historians generally agree that he fulfilled his mission exceptionally well. The values and habits formed during Truman's childhood in Missouri benefited him greatly in the White House, such as honesty, hard work, and a willingness to take responsibility. This book details the growth years of the 33rd President of the United States.
