Biography - Harry S. Truman [VHS]

Email | Print | Share


Product Details


Regarded as one of this century's great presidents, he oversaw America's post-war emergence as a dominant world power yet Harry Truman was a failed businessman who turned to politics only because he needed a job. This modern portrait of ""the Man from Missouri"" chronicles President Truman's lasting legacy on today's world. See footage from the draining campaign that ended with his dramatic upset of Dewey in 1948, and hear aides recall the difficult decision to drop the bomb on Japan. Rare photographs and interviews with family members including his granddaughter, who tells of his long courtship of Bess illustrate his private life. From his entry into politics through the creation of NATO to the Cold War era of Korea and McCarthy's witch hunts, here are the defining moments of his life and his Presidency. This is the complete, fascinating story of the feisty, no-nonsense leader who earned the nickname, ""Give 'em Hell Harry."

Product Reviews


(3 stars) - lackluster
I teach U.S. History, and I was looking for a film about Truman to show my students, and I thought that this would be a good one. It is okay, but that is all. I think what is lacking is why Harry S. Truman is considered one of the great presidents, as they claim at the beginning of the program and then again at the end. Nothing in between really gives an indication of why he was such a great president. If all I had to do was watch this, I would not have any reason to think he was great. This film is lackluster, flat, rather boring, and holds little interest for today's teenagers. It's like a sales job from the government via Biography. I expected so much more.
