Heroes are often defined as ordinary characters who find themselves
facing extraordinary circumstances and, through courage and a dash
of luck, cement their place in history. Chosen as President
Roosevelt's fourth term Vice President for his admired work ethic,
good judgement and lack of enemies, Harry S. Truman was the
prototypical ordinary man from small-town America. That is, until
he was thrust in over his head following the sudden death of
Roosevelt. With the world still caught up in the inferno of the
Second World War, Truman found himself playing the roles of both
judge and jury during the founding of the UN, the Potsdam
Conference, the Manhattan Project, the German surrender, the
liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the decision to drop
the Bomb and bring the war to the end. Tightly focused,
meticulously researched and drawing on documentation not available
to previous biographers, The Accidental President escorts readers
into the situation room with Truman during this tumultuous,
history-making four months - when the stakes were high and the
challenges even higher . . .
