This biography of Harry S. Truman provides a reassessment of the American President whose reputation, it asserts, has risen since he left office. Roy Jenkins shows that the Truman presidency (1945-1953) built the structures within which the Western world has lived since World War II. The Marshall Plan promoted not only the recovery, but the unity of Western Europe; NATO enabled this prosperity to grow within a framework of security. Truman's decisions - for all his private indiscretions and occasional muddles - were firm and level-headed, guiding the Western world through the many dangers of the unstable post-war years.
