Harry Truman and The Bomb
Posted on August 5, 2014   by jessiekratz

Today’s post is from Lee Lacy, an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Army Command & General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

When Harry S. Truman was told on April 12, 1945, by Eleanor Roosevelt that her husband, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was dead, Truman reacted true to form.
 

He asked if there was anything he could do. Her famous reply: “Is there anything we can do for you? For you are the one in trouble now.”
