Reviews

"All historians of modern America will want to own this volume."--History: Reviews of New Books"A superior study for the expert as well as the novice. Highly recommended for all libraries."--Choice"A remarkably clear, engaging account of one of the most important periods in American history. McCoy deftly puts the reader right in the middle of the rapidly unfolding drama, from the decision to use the atomic bomb and the policies adopted for postwar economic reconversion, to the beginnings of the Cold War and the conflict in Korea."--Los Angeles Times

"Readable, balanced, and insightful. It should win universal recognition as the best one-volume study of the Truman presidency."--Alonzo L. Hamby, author of Beyond the New Deal
