Harry S. Truman: 1884-1972 - by Four-Time Academy Award ® Winner

Four-time Academy Award ® Winner Charles Guggenheim HARRY S. TRUMAN: 1884-1972 TRT 46 minutes Black & White This is the story of the life of Harry S. Truman, who became the thirty-third president of the United States. Born to a poor family in western Missouri, and never harboring ambitions to hold anything but state office, Truman rose with a reputation for honesty and commitment—and with the unlikely support of a corrupt Kansas City political machine—became a U.S. Senator, and later Vice President and President of the United States. Occupying the Oval Office for almost eight years after the death of Franklin Roosevelt, he faced and acted upon more critical issues and crises than any president in the twentieth century. He left the presidency with the lowest approval rating of any president in modern times after dealing with the Communist threat, the atomic bomb, McCarthyism, the Korean War and the firing of General Douglas MacArthur.
