Leuchtenburg offers an engaging account of relations between these three presidents and the South while also tracing how the region came to embrace a national perspective without losing its distinctive sense of place. Leuchtenburg explores in fascinating detail how their unique attachment to “place” helped them to adopt shifting identities, which proved useful in healing rifts between North and South, in altering behavior in regard to race, and in fostering southern economic growth.

Michael BeschlossPublication Details
BookSimon & Schuster2002Description
FDR’s actions so shocked his closest friend in the Cabinet, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., that Morgenthau risked their friendship by accusing the President of “acquiescence” in the “murder of the Jews.” Finally it shows how the unprepared new President Truman managed to pick up the pieces and push Stalin and Churchill to accede to a bargain that would let the Anglo-Americans block Soviet threats against Western Europe and ensure that the world would not have to fear another Adolf Hitler.

Shawn J. Parry-GilesPublication Details

The Last Campaign : How Harry Truman Won The 1948 Election
Attribution
by Zachary KarabellPublication Details
Book1st edKnopf2000Description
It was the last presidential campaign in which Americans truly had a choice across the ideological spectrum, from the far Right to the far Left. Karabell argues that 1948 was the last time a presidential race would be dominated by radio and print media, and the last time progressive and far-Left viewpoints were openly debated and covered in the mainstream press, before the Cold War consensus placed an entire spectrum of political views beyond the pale. Finally, Karabell shows why the polls were totally wrong, and how in the end Truman indulged in questionable political tactics to win the presidency.
