Picture
Learn more about Truman and the Cold War from  this PBS documentary. Click the image or HERE to watch.

He was a farmer, a  businessman gone bankrupt, an unknown politician from Missouri who suddenly  found himself president. Of all the men who had held the highest office, Harry  Truman was the least prepared. But he would prove to be a surprise. Facing some  of the biggest crises of the century, Truman would end the war with Germany, use  the atomic bomb against Japan, confront an expanding Soviet Union and wage war  in Korea -- all while the woman he adored, his wife Bess, refused to stay in the White House and play the role of First Lady. The story of the unlikely rise of a  gritty American original.
