Harry Truman is famous for his plain speaking, and his
presidential rhetoric is evaluated in this reference in terms of
his most important speeches relating to the Cold War, the Korean
War, and themes that helped him win a remarkable election victory
in 1948. This in-depth analysis of his major presidential speeches,
collection of his most important addresses, chronology of speeches
during his presidency, and bibliography will give students,
scholars, and professionals in communications and mass media,
political science, and American history new insights into this
interesting president and important period in American history.
Professor Ryan examines Presidents Truman's speeches and
addresses from 1945 to 1953, closely showing how his Truman
Doctrine speech and Inaugural Address sounded the leit motifs of
Manichaean, SuperNation rhetoric that innervated the Cold War. His
rhetoric on the Korean War burdened his presidency because it held
to an early military definition of the war. His exchanges with
General Douglas MacArthur were oblique rather than frontal attacks,
which presented further problems. His whistle-stop election
campaign against Thomas E. Dewey and his valedictory address are
used also to assess his rhetorical themes and expression and their
effectiveness. The chronology and bibliography are framed also to
help researchers dealing with materials in a presidential
library.
