  • Harry Truman, the Atomic Bomb and the Apocalyptic Narrative
    Volume 5 | Issue 7 | Article ID 2479 | Jul 12, 2007 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus The Decision to Risk the Future: Harry Truman, the Atomic Bomb and the Apocalyptic Narrative Peter J. Kuznick The Decision to Risk the Future: Harry stressed that the future of mankind would be Truman, the Atomic Bomb and theshaped by how such bombs were used and Apocalyptic Narrative subsequently controlled or shared.[3] Truman recalled Stimson “gravely” expressing his Peter J. Kuznick uncertainty about whether the U.S. should ever use the bomb, “because he was afraid it was so I powerful that it could end up destroying the whole world.” Truman admitted that, listening In his personal narrative Atomic Quest, Nobel to Stimson and Groves and reading Groves’s Prize-winning physicist Arthur Holly Compton, accompanying memo, he “felt the same who directed atomic research at the University fear.”[4] of Chicago’s Metallurgical Laboratory during the Second World War, tells of receiving an urgent visit from J. Robert Oppenheimer while vacationing in Michigan during the summer of 1942. Oppenheimer and the brain trust he assembled had just calculated the possibility that an atomic explosion could ignite all the hydrogen in the oceans or the nitrogen in the atmosphere. If such a possibility existed, Compton concluded, “these bombs must never be made.” As Compton said, “Better to accept the slavery of the Nazis than to run a chance of drawing the final curtain on mankind.”[1] Certainly, any reasonable human being could be expected to respond similarly. Three years later, with Hitler dead and the Nazis defeated, President Harry Truman faced Truman and Byrnes en route to Potsdam, July a comparably weighty decision.

    Harry Truman 12 April 1945 – 20 January 1953 Democrat By David Blanchflower Full name: Harry S Truman Date of birth: 8 May 1884 Place of birth: Lamar, Missouri Date of death: 26 December 1972 Site of grave: Harry S Truman Presidential Library & Museum, Independence, Missouri Education: Spalding’s Commercial College, Kansas City Married to: Bess Wallace. m. 1919. (1885-1982) Children: 1 d. Margaret "You know, it's easy for the Monday morning quarterback to say what the coach should have done, after the game is over. But when the decision is up before you - - and on my desk I have a motto which says The Buck Stops Here" Harry Truman, National War College, December 19th, 1952 'Give 'em hell' Harry S. Truman was the 33rd president of the United States and also the 33rd tallest. He was born on May 8th, 1884 and died at age 88 on December 22nd, 1972. Of note also is that V- E Day occurred on Truman's birthday on May 8th, 1945. He had no middle name. His parents gave him the middle initial, 'S', to honor his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young. He married his wife Elizabeth 'Bess' Wallace on June 28, 1919; he had previously proposed in 1911 and she turned him down; but they finally got engaged in 1913. She had been in his class at school when he was six and she was five, and she sat in the desk immediately behind him. The couple had one child, Mary Margaret Truman. Harry was a little man who did a lot, standing just 5 feet 9 inches tall which is short for a president.

  • President Harry Truman Liked to Refer to His Wife, Bess, As the Boss
    CSPAN/FIRST LADIES BESS TRUMAN JUNE 9, 2014 11:34 a.m. ET SUSAN SWAIN, HOST: President Harry Truman liked to refer to his wife, Bess, as the boss. Family was her number-one priority. She had little to say to the media, destroyed many of her letters, and spent a good part of her White House years home in Missouri. Bess Truman served as first lady on her own terms. Good evening, and welcome to C-SPAN's continuing series, "First Ladies: Influence and Image.” Tonight, the story of the wife of the 33rd president of the United States, Bess Truman. Here to tell us more about her are two guests. We're very pleased to welcome back to our set Bill Seale, who is a White House historian.

SWAIN: Nicole Anslover is a history professor and the author of a biography of Harry Truman called "The Coming of the Cold War.” Thanks for being here. Nice to meet you. NICOLE ANSLOVER, PROFESSOR OF HISTORY: Thank you. SWAIN: Well, where we left off last week was the death of Franklin Roosevelt. April 12, 1945, the call comes in to Harry Truman. Where is he? Then he gets the message that he's needed. ANSLOVER: He's having a drink with his cronies, as he was often want to do.

  • Background Essay on Dear Bess Letters ______
    Background Essay on Dear Bess Letters _____________________________________________ Bess Truman was born Elizabeth Virginia Wallace on February 13, 1885 in Independence, Missouri. She was born to the prestigious Wallace family and grew up in luxury in a Victorian house on Delaware Street. She is best known for being the 33rd First Lady of the United States when her husband, Harry S. Truman, became President in 1945. Bess and Harry’s relationship began long before they were married, giving this couple a very rich history. Harry Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri in 1884 to a farm family. His family moved often, and they came to Independence in 1890. There, Harry met and immediately became smitten with a young Elizabeth Wallace. The two children met in Sunday School at the First Presbyterian Church on the Independence Square. Harry was six and Bess was five. While Harry frequently said that he fell in love with Bess as soon as he met her, she was not as taken with Harry. He worked hard to court Bess for the better part of thirty years Harry and Bess became engaged in 1917. Their marriage was put on hold until Truman returned from Europe during World War I, but after his return to the United States they were married on June 28, 1919. They welcomed their one and only daughter, Margaret Truman, on February 17, 1924. Bess’ life changed drastically when her husband became President following the sudden death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt on April 12, 1945. Bess was not interested in living a glamorous life in the public eye, but wanted to keep living the quiet lifestyle that she was used to.

  • Harry S Truman
    THE MALEVOLENT PRESIDENT HARRY S TRUMAN Harry S Truman has been referred to as “little” but he was not at all short. He has been referred to as “limited” and as “ignorant” although these descriptors do not accurately capture his actual conduct. The key to understanding his character and his conduct, and the key to understanding why it is that he has been referred to as “little,” is to grasp that here we had an utterly malevolent man — someone who took the greatest of delight in the doing of harm to those of whose existence he disapproved, and in general to anyone who sought in any way to oppose his desires. He said to his biographer, David McCullough, “I never gave anybody hell, I just told the truth and they thought it was hell,” and the historian repeated this saying on page 664 in his 2003 Pulitzer-Prize-winning biography TRUMAN exactly as if the making of such an assertion meant that that assertion needed to be the truth. However, when Truman said that to his biographer, he was merely lying — lying again. All he ever knew to do was give people hell, and lie. In fact we can safely assert that this man’s life –like that “S” middle initial– stood for nothing at all.
