From the New York Times best-selling author of The Accidental President comes the thrilling story of the 1948 presidential election, one of the greatest election stories of all time, as Truman mounted a history-making comeback and staked a claim for a new course for America. On the eve of the 1948 election, America was a fractured country. Racism was rampant, foreign relations were fraught, and political parties were more divided than ever. Americans were certain that President Harry S. Truman’s political career was over. “The ballots haven’t been counted,” noted political columnist Fred Othman, “but there seems to be no further need for holding up an affectionate farewell to Harry Truman.” Truman’s own staff did not believe he could win. Nor did his wife, Bess. The only man in the world confident that Truman would win was Mr. Truman himself. And win he did.  The year 1948 was a fight for the soul of a nation. In Dewey Defeats Truman, A. J. Baime sheds light on one of the most action-packed six months in American history, as Truman both triumphs and oversees watershed events—the passing of the Marshall plan, the acknowledgement of Israel as a new state, the careful attention to the origins of the Cold War, and the first desegregation of the military.  Not only did Truman win the election, he succeeded in guiding his country forward at a critical time with high stakes and haunting parallels to the modern day.

I have read extensively on both men - David McCullough's magisterial Truman, Richard Norton Smith's fine Thomas Dewey and his Times, and others - but for economy, focus, and readability, this book is right up there amongst the best of political/electoral/campaign story telling.I would not say that the book's detail was granular but it was detailed and moved along with precision and style. The book is 422 pages which includes the 70+ pages of notes etc.One last cautionary note: Acknowledging that the men, time, and country are different from 1948, the hubris of the Dewey campaign - a hubris shared by the media, his supporters, and every political "expert" at the time - should ALWAYS serve as a cautionary tale and warning to any of us who are currently planning the Biden cabinet and Trump's post election jail cell.Yes, I again concede that Biden is no Thomas Dewey and Trump sure as h*ll ain't no Harry S Truman BUT if reading this excellent book does anything, it serves as a cautionary tale that we cannot assume ANYTHING, irrespective of what the polls tell us now or later, right on up to 11/3/20. We have to channel HST and just work it hard every single day and not let up until the polls close on Election Day.
