Harry S Truman (1884-1972) signed this photo on November 9, 1960, the same
day newspapers across the country proclaimed the narrow victory of fellow
Democrat John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election. Twelve years
earlier, Truman had won an equally close and unexpected triumph over Thomas E.
Dewey, creating "one of the major upsets in American political history". The
famous Missouri native had succeeded to the presidency after serving as Vice
President for only 82 days. Faced with the ordeal of ending World War II
(1939-1945), Truman ordered the atomic bombings on Hiroshima (August 6) and
Nagasaki (August 9). He fought the Cold War with the Truman Doctrine, a policy
reducing Communist pressures on Greece and Turkey through economic and military
aid. During his second term, Truman sent U.S. forces to South Korea to repel
invading North Korean troops. Fine condition. Framed in Gallery of History
style: 17x27¾.
