Toote kirjeldus: Dewey Defeats Truman: The 1948 Election and the Battle for America's Soul

"From the New York Times best-selling author of The Accidental President comes the thrilling story of the 1948 presidential election, one of the greatest election stories of all time, as Truman mounted a history-making comeback and staked a claim for a new course for America."--
A look at the 1948 election pitting incumbent president Harry Trump against New York governor Thomas Dewey, which took place against momentous international events including the emerging Cold War. 50,000 first printing.
This accessible, illustrated work for history buffs and other general readers charts a six-month period in the 1948 presidential campaign for the first postwar presidential election. The book details the transformation of both the Democratic and Republican parties, as well as the strategies and goals of the communist-leaning Progressive Party and the white supremacist States’ Rights Democratic Party. Covering the conventions, the campaigns, and the election, the book focuses on how the divisive political issues were understood by politicians and the public at the time, drawing on memorandums, diaries, oral histories, and other primary sources. B&w historical photos are included. A. J. Baime is the author of The Accidental President (2017), about the first four months of Truman’s presidency.

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Accidental President comes the thrilling story of the 1948 presidential election, one of the greatest election stories of all time, as Truman mounted a history-making comeback and staked a claim for a new course for America.On the eve of the 1948 election, America was a fractured country. Racism was rampant, foreign relations were fraught, and political parties were more divided than ever. Americans were certain that President Harry S. Truman&;s political career was over. &;The ballots haven&;t been counted,&; noted political columnist Fred Othman, &;but there seems to be no further need for holding up an affectional farewell to Harry Truman.&; Truman&;s own staff did not believe he could win. Nor did his wife, Bess. The only man in the world confident that Truman would win was Mr. Truman himself. And win he did. 1948 was a fight for the soul of a nation. In Dewey Defeats Truman, A. J. Baime sheds light on one of the most action-packed six months in American history, as Truman not only triumphs, but oversees watershed events&;the passing of the Marshall plan, the acknowledgement of Israel as a new state, the careful attention to the origins of the Cold War, and the first desegregation of the military. Not only did Truman win the election, he succeeded in guiding his country forward at a critical time with high stakes and haunting parallels to the modern day.
