Harry S. Truman
[b]
(May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was an American politician who was the 33rd
president of the United States
from 1945 to 1953. A lifetime member of the
Democratic Party
, he previously served as a
US Senator
from the
State of Missouri
from 1935 to 1945. He was chosen as incumbent President
Franklin D. Roosevelt
's running mate for the 1944 presidential election. Truman was inaugurated as
vice-president
in 1945 and served for less than three months until President Roosevelt died. Now serving as president, Truman implemented the
Marshall Plan
to rebuild the economy of Western Europe and established both the
Truman Doctrine
and
NATO
to contain the expansion of
communism
. He proposed numerous liberal domestic reforms, but few were enacted by the
Conservative Coalition
that dominated the
Congress
.
Truman grew up in
Independence, Missouri
, and during
World War I
fought in France as a captain in the Field Artillery. Returning home, he opened a
haberdashery
in
Kansas City, Missouri
, and was later elected as a
Jackson County
official in 1922. Truman was elected to the United States Senate from Missouri in 1934 and gained national prominence as chairman of the
Truman Committee
, which was aimed at reducing waste and inefficiency in wartime contracts. Soon after succeeding to the presidency, he authorized the
first and only use of nuclear weapons in war
. Truman's administration engaged in an
internationalist
foreign policy and renounced
isolationism
. He energized the
New Deal coalition
during the
1948 presidential election
and won a surprise victory against
Thomas E. Dewey
that secured his own presidential term.
After the onset of the
Cold War
, Truman oversaw the
Berlin Airlift
and
Marshall Plan
in 1948. When
North Korea
invaded
South Korea
in 1950, he gained United Nations approval to intervene in the
Korean War
. He did not ask for congressional approval, and as the war stalemated his popularity fell. His administration successfully guided the U.S. economy through the postwar economic challenges; the expected postwar depression never happened. In 1948, he submitted the first comprehensive civil rights legislation. It did not pass, so he instead issued Executive Orders 9980 and
9981
to begin racial equality in federal agencies and the military.
Corruption in the Truman administration became a central campaign issue in the
1952 presidential election
. He was eligible for reelection in 1952, but with weak polls he decided not to run.
Republican
Dwight D. Eisenhower
attacked Truman's record and won easily. Truman went into a retirement marked by the founding of his presidential library and the publication of his memoirs. It was long thought that his retirement years were financially difficult for Truman, resulting in Congress voting a pension for former presidents, but ample evidence eventually emerged that he amassed considerable wealth after leaving office. When he left office, Truman's presidency was heavily criticized, though
critical reassessment
of his presidency has improved his reputation among historians and the general population

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
