A great gift for your favorite history nerd or Trumanophile! The History of Harry Truman newspaper compilation is a collection of New York Times front page stories throughout Harry Truman's administration. It is a fascinating time capsule where you can read stories about historical events when they were only hours old. These stories appear in their original context, along the other news of the day and the quaint advertisements of that time, so you really feel like you are reading history as it happens.
Read about the death of Franklin Roosevelt, the defeat of the Nazis, the dropping of the atomic bomb, the defeat of the Japanese and the end of the WWII, the beginning of the Marshall Plan, the founding of NATO, the recognition of Israel, the assassination attempt, the firing of MacArthur, and many other stories.
Your purchase helps support the educational and exhibit programs of the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum.
