Truman was the prototypical ordinary man. That is, until he was shockingly thrust in over his head after FDR\u2019s sudden death.<\/p>\n<p>The first four months of Truman\u2019s administration saw the founding of the United Nations, the fall of Berlin, victory at Okinawa, firebombings in Tokyo, the first atomic explosion, the Nazi surrender, the liberation of concentration camps, the mass starvation in Europe, the Potsdam Conference, the controversial decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the surrender of imperial Japan, and finally, the end of World War II and the rise of the Cold War. No other president had ever faced so much in such a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p>The Accidental President escorts readers into the situation room with Truman during a tumultuous, history-making 120 days, when the stakes were high and the challenges even higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[A] well-judged and hugely readable book . . . few are as entertaining.\u201d \u2014Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times<\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Mariner Books; Reprint edition (October 2, 2018) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 464 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1328505685 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1328505682 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 2.31 pounds <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.31 x 1.12 x 8 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the content insightful, documented, and a good portrait of Harry Truman&#8217;s decision-making.
