History’s greatest war was over, but our story has only just begun. The Truman Presidency not only had to deal with the legacy of the recently concluded war, it also had to wrestle with new problems at home and abroad: a dangerous international situation, the spread of Communism and Soviet influence, and the pressing need to form a “more perfect union” at home by ensuring equal rights and justice for all.
