Product Description

He was a farmer, a businessman, an unknown politician who suddenly found himself president. Of all the men who had held the highest office, Harry Truman was the least prepared, but would prove to be a surprise. Acclaimed filmmaker David Grubin recounts his struggles and success as an army captain and marriage to his lifelong sweetheart, Bess. When he landed the vice presidency in 1944 he had no idea that his world was about to change forever.

President Truman. is a must for any historian Fan

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018

President Truman. is a must for any historian Funs. He spoke direct and to the point from the President, Ho was the Arctic of the modern World. Like The Marshall Plan stimulated spectacular economic recovery in war-torn Western Europe. THE TRUMAN DOCTRINE HELPED IN ELIMINATING COMMUNIST THREAT IN GREECE AND TURKEY + HELPED IN THE FORMATION OF UN AND NATO. AND HE PUT AN END TO RACIAL SEGREGATION IN THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES. Helped The Cration of ISRAEL. And Mach More. All Of This Amazing Accomplishments With no College Education. I wish We can find more leaders like him Right now

What POTUS and broadcast journalism used to be

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2008

Verified Purchase

To echo a previous reviewer, there has been and will forever be only one President Harry S. Truman. Hisorians rate him among the 10 greatest Presidents in our history, a fact that makes it seem inconceivable that he left office branded as a Commie (thanks to the McCarthy maniacs) and unpopular because of the lingering Korean War. Fortunately, that unpopularity didn't last. What makes this PBS biography indispensible, aside from the fascinating subject, is its presentation. Just as there have been few leaders of Truman's quality (especially recently), so there have been few commentators and writers like David McCullough. The narrative itself has to be one of the finest examples of broadcast journalism, a profession dismally absent from today's media. As for Truman, here's a guy who stood so far above the ideology and partisanship of his day and ours that he puts our own era to shame. For those who don't know Truman, this presentation will introduce you to a humble man who had it tough his whole life but kept right on going, living and acting on basic moral principles that have all but disappeared. I recall a hit record during the Watergate era from the rock group Chicago titled simply "Harry Truman". As you meet Harry through this video you'll be saying to yourself some of the words from that song: "America needs you, Harry Truman. Harry, could you please come home?"

at last,, the definitive Truman documentary !!

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2008

What a knockout documentary, with Robards' fine narrative style not intruding on the dandy old film and newsreels and with Mc Cullough doing his usual fine commentary job. At last, we see Truman and his world from the start to the near-finish, and it is indeed a documentary, which should most certainly be preceded by the just as fine FDR one, that school children should study and write essays about. They need to learn FDR's and Truman's times as well as their Presidencies, and these two together show us both. They had some monumentally tough situations to deal with as Presidents, and while their performances weren't flawless, they were remarkably appropriate to their times.

This was a critical time in 20th century American history from the Depression thru the first years of the Cold War, and I can't imagine any other two Presidents doing anything close to the good jobs they did.

What really grabs one who is already familiar with the history, tho, about this Truman documentary, is the man. If there's one sentence in this 4.5 hours of film that stands out in my mind, it's his refusal to drop any more but the first two atomic bombs on Japan - "I don't want to kill any more kids."

That simple probably unrehearsed sentence says it all about him. Duty-bound in his own view to order those first two bombings to save what could have been hundreds of thousands of Japanese and American lives in a continuation of the traditional war and defending his decision to his death, he still knew what he had done, and he cared. And I believe that he was privately bothered about those kids in particular until he died.

And the presentation of that segment of the documentary, which pulled few punches with its imagery, was beautifully "neutral" in tone and style. It simply told the story of what he believed was needed and of what that led to.

Bravo, PBS. :)

A Really Inspiring Documentary

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

You must see this. Truman took office after the great FDR but was not expected to amount to anything. He performed with humbleness, dignity and toughness. He was the grittiest president we ever had. This man accomplished more than most that took the oath and kept America on top while helping other nations. Truman oriented this nation as needed, and like Roosevelt, changed the world in the toughest of times. A really inspiring life and top-notch documentary.

Excellent historical presentation

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2009

Harry S. Truman, I believe, was a great president, and the video depicts his life and role in history with objectivity. Although he unfortunately allied himself with a shady political boss in his early years, an alliance used against him during campaigns, he himself was a man of integrity who faced innumerable international and domestic crises
Truman, more or less, was forced into the vice presidency by President Franklin Roosevelt, who knew he would not live to finish his last term. With Roosevelt's death, Truman became a war-time president left to decide America's course in ending the war with Japan and later to responding to Russia's seizure of post-war European territory. Truman would also send American troops into South Korea to hold off the North Korean invasion, an international crisis still unfinished.
On the domestic front, Truman faced railroad and steel strikes, a White House literally caving in and an election which everyone except Truman gave to his opponent. "Give 'em hell Harry" showed his critics what a Missouri-born man with no college education could do with hard work and determination.
I admire Truman, and the video only strengthened that admiration. It's a wonderful way to review history.
