wishes." Fine condition. With original envelope bearing Truman's
return address and printed frank. Soiled, stained, creased and worn. Harry
Truman, a WWI veteran, one-time haberdasher, former U.S. Senator from
Missouri (1935-1945), had been elected Vice President for the fourth
term of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944, and he assumed the presidency in April
1945, following the sudden death of FDR. During his first term, Truman
ordered the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (August 1945),
forcing a Japanese surrender and the end of WWII (1939-1945), announced his
Fair Deal domestic program (September 1945) and issued the Truman
Doctrine (March 1947), which guaranteed aid to any nation resisting
Communist aggression. Following his stunning 1948 defeat of Republican
challenger Thomas E. Dewey, Truman oversaw the foundation of NATO (April
1949) and sent troops to South Korea to repel the North Korean invasion (June
1950). After leaving the White House, Truman returned to Missouri, where
he wrote his memoirs and was actively involved in the creation of the Truman
Library. Two items.
