Harry Truman was not one of our better presidents. His weakness in foreign affairs cost the people or America and of the free world greatly. The United States squandered a nuclear monopoly, and we are still paying for that incompetence today. Would there be a North Korea today, or would there have been a Korean or Vietnam war had he forced the Soviet hand.
The man laid the ground work for the Cold War. Which is part of why we have rogue states today, and the weapons generated in that war have lead to dozens of bloody coups. No he wasn't a good president he was naive. He bought what Stalin peddled, and we are paying for it to this very day.
