PERSPECTIVE ON GREATNESS: H.S.T.: DAYS OF DECISION (Black/White, 1953, 49 Minutes.)
An excellent installment of the venerable tv documentary series covering the years from Truman's becoming President upon the death of F.D.R. to his arrival back home from Washington to Independence Missouri.
PORTRAITS OF POWER: TRUMAN: YEARS OF DECISION (Color, 1978, 23 Minutes.)
An insightful episode from the television series based on the book PORTRAITS OF POWER by Harrison Salisbury narrated by Henry Fonda and produced in part by The New York Times.
Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 - December 26, 1972), the 33rd president of the United States, serving from 1945 to 1953, succeeding upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt after serving as the 34th vice president, was born in Lamar, Missouri on May 8, 1884. He implemented the Marshall Plan to rebuild the economy of Western Europe, and established the Truman Doctrine and NATO to contain communist expansion. He proposed numerous liberal domestic reforms, but few were enacted by the Conservative Coalition that dominated Congress. Truman grew up in Independence, Missouri, and during World War I fought in France as a captain in the Field Artillery. Returning home, he opened a haberdashery in Kansas City, Missouri and was later elected as a Jackson County official in 1922. Truman was elected to the United States Senate from Missouri in 1934 and gained national prominence as chairman of the Truman Committee aimed at reducing waste and inefficiency in wartime contracts. Soon after succeeding to the presidency, he authorized the first and only use of nuclear weapons in war. Truman's administration engaged in an internationalist foreign policy and renounced isolationism. He rallied his New Deal coalition during the 1948 presidential election and won a surprise victory that secured his own presidential term. After the onset of the Cold War, Truman oversaw the Berlin Airlift and Marshall Plan in 1948. When North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, he gained United Nations approval to intervene in the Korean War. He did not ask for Congressional approval and as the war stalemated his popularity fell. His administration successfully guided the U.S. economy through the post-war economic challenges; the expected postwar depression never happened. In 1948, he submitted the first comprehensive civil rights legislation. It did not pass but he instead issued Executive Orders 9980 and 9981 to begin racial equality in federal agencies and the military. Corruption in the Truman administration became a central campaign issue in the 1952 presidential election. He was eligible for reelection in 1952 but with weak polls, he decided not to run. Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower attacked Truman's record and won easily. When he left office, Truman's presidency was heavily criticized, though critical reassessment of his tenure has been favorable. Truman went into a financially difficult retirement, marked by the founding of his presidential library and the publication of his memoirs. Harry S. Truman died of multiple organ failure caused by pneumonia., fell into a coma, and died at 7:50 a.m. on December 26 at to Kansas City's Research Hospital and Medical Center at the age of 88.
