Description
As we continue our Pillars of Power series, exploring the lives and legacies of America’s presidents, we turn to Harry S. Truman—a man who never expected to lead the nation. When Franklin D. Roosevelt passed away in April 1945, the weight of the presidency fell onto Truman’s shoulders. Suddenly, this unassuming man from Missouri was thrust into leadership at one of the most critical junctures in history. What followed was a presidency defined by world-changing decisions from the end of World War II to the dawn of the Cold War. Join us as we uncover Truman’s unexpected rise to power, his family roots, and his vision for a postwar world that reshaped America’s role on the global stage.
