A landmark work of American political journalism, The Truman Era presents a sharp and incisive chronicle of the United States from 1945 to 1952, as seen through the eyes of one of the twentieth century's most celebrated independent journalists. I. F. Stone assembles a collection of his own dispatches and columns written during the Truman presidency, capturing the Cold War anxieties, McCarthyism, the Korean War, and the social tensions that defined post-war America. Written with wit, moral conviction, and a razor-sharp critical intelligence, Stone argues passionately against the drift toward militarism, political conformity, and the suppression of civil liberties. A vital primary document of mid-century American political life, it remains as urgent and illuminating today as when it was first published.
