he grew deeply to respect truman. not is because just because he spoke at westminster college, but because of the truman doctrine and the marshall plan after that and truman was seeing things the way that churchill had hoped that the new american president had seen things. then the empire was down on the totem pole. eisenhower, i think the church hill had a modest lower opinion of everything, especially when eisenhower was in office and he was starting to talk about using nuclear weapons against the chinese from the north koreans and at one point he said that he reserved the right that if this happens, we would use the weapons and churchill begged him and eisenhower changed it to the right to consider the use of. so i think that, again, churchill didn't have that much -- truman was out of office before churchill went back into office. so he never really knew him in a professional sense. churchill did not go back into office until 1952. late 1951, perhaps. he left office in the mid-1955 year. so he was president for ei

there was -- truman had announced the truman doctrine in 1947, which most cold war historians mark as the beginning of the cold war, and the threat that truman identified was actually quite incoherent. american defenses were low and rapid demobilization after world war ii. so, it really took the korean war to create all the policy that we now see, we now associate with the cold war, the standing army, huge defense budgets, the perception of the cyno soviet bloc, and is a threat to american national security and all of that came about because of the korean war and because of the coreon war there was collusion between the government and the defense industry. so the birth of the military industrial complex that eisenhower later warned the nation against. be ware of the military industrial complex, in 1961. i think for china, the effect of the korean war was also extremely profound because it was during the korean war -- must remember that, first, china thought the world's greatest superpower could stan still. that created huge prestige for mao. the century of humiliation and also during

while they are criticizing truman he is not fighting a linear flag -- fashion. except for one or two mistakes he takes atlanta on september 2 and sends a telegram, atlanta is ours. we fairly won. everyone turned topsy-turvy. mcclellan is disgraced and call the. he wanted to allow the south that had slavery and sherman is the man of the hour. lincoln is going to be elected by an mere landslide in early november and then he does an interesting thing. when people are calling him -- to grant a butcher sherman basically says no, no, no this was planned all along. he was going to go direct inward on the confederates and i was going to go around the flank. i had one-way fighting in rant had another. they were not to but they were synonymous. they were complementary and he really restore the reputation of ulysses s. grant. what i'm getting at is if grant did not have sherman i think they would have lost the election of 1864 and i think we would have had to negotiate a settlement. i think by saving the election for lincoln he saved the nation in a way that weather was fa

was truman more of a kind of club guy and adams -- -- >> no, truman was not a loaner add all. he was very active in the masons. he was a good party man. they're both devoted to their wives. >> rose: abigail and bess. >> yes. and they were both well advised by their wives backstage. >> rose: bess was a wise counsel to harry truman? >> yes, i think she was. bess abhorred public life. she would freeze in front of the camera. became a cold stone face. but -- whereas abigail loved public life. abigail adored politics. in many ways abigail adams was a better political thinker than was her husband. she had a wonderful capacity for judging people. >> rose:ly get to that book in a moment. suppose i'd said to you, david, this is a good idea but this is going to take ten years of your life. >> i would have said no. >> rose: you would have? >> oh, absolutely. i'm glad i didn't know because i never would have done it. >> rose: but you never thought about quiting? >> no, never, never. no, i've been very lucky in my subjects, charlie. the more you learn, the more you want to learn. and every

. >> my understanding is that beth truman spent a good portion of harry truman's presidency in missouri. therefore, a much influence did beth truman has as first lady? >> he adored her. to the degree that she says anything to him, it mattered a great deal. she did spend a lot of time in missouri. she really did not ever enjoy washington life. she had a mother to. -- mother too. >> who could not stand him. [laughter] >> anything that she would say to him, he took as gospel. >> do we know how political she was? >> the truman book does you some sense. not enough. >> you do not get a sense that she cared. >> a question about spouses as political liabilities, something that hillary clinton is facing in a way that other male presidents may not have had to face. are there instances where the spouses of male presidents have become liabilities, or is it a special burden for say, michelle obama, in 2020 or something like that? >> you cannot get worse than rachel jackson. the jackson campaign -- andrew jackson campaign, where the whole question of whether they had married i'll she was still marrie

. >> you say in the book, harry truman didn't like him very much. >> there's no question what harry truman liked or didn't like. he thought it was a grand stander. truman was in the senate for 10 years. he's the one that famously said that a senior of senator when he arrived in the senate, said for the first six months you will wonder how you got here. after the first six months, you're going to wonder how the rest of us got here. truman had right respect for the seasoning process for the senators. >> how much did you write in this section? >> that section is mostly neil macneil. >> he said indifferent to the station request, home state of tennessee, preoccupied with panel proceeding, he was first mindful that the hearing was broadcast. the public's reaction however was spectacular. why later on if the public reaction was spectacular did the senators fight to put themselves on television? >> the issue with the senate rules, the fact that the public will lose respect very quickly for the senate when they see this endless series of quorum called. it's not the senate medium said the opponents

president truman presented it. and then as the united states got involved, perceptions of the war and perceptions of what it would take to win or what constituted a win changed and so i wonder if you could say a little bit about that and in particular may be about how the fact that word were had changed with the korean war, the atomic bomb and the nuclear dÉtente. >> guest: at that point, to take the entire, the idea that point was to limit the war because the nuclear bomb had put in a factor that nobody wanted to address again which is what going to have a third nuclear war or a third world war? korea was really the beginning of what what we called a limited war. you fight for limited objectives. not to win the war but to fight to satisfy particular objectives. of course macarthur coming from world war ii didn't see war in that way. he believed war still meant victory which still meant world war iii and the bomb really i think changed that calculation. >> host: so macarthur didn't really understand that it was def

truman would say that he likes this or did not like that. truman would say the same thing. bys, i'm going to run this the boss. we will finalize it tomorrow. even best truman played a role will stop secondly, there is a social influence role. we do not have a monarch. the first lady -- they can about michelle obama -- she has been on more than kim kardashian. mrs. obama is iconic figure. all of these first ladies are. they rank in the top 10 most admired women in the world. usually number one or number two. ms. roosevelt goes out and embraces marian anderson. she was going to perform an operatic performance. the daughters of the american revolution found out that she was african-american and did not want her to perform. onto toroosevelt goes the fields and teske -- in tuskeegee and championed their cause. collected foodln and clothing for slaves to move to the capital city. betty ford did more to promote breast cancer screening among women than anything before or since simply by her being the first lady. imagine have thousands of women -- there are letters from thousands of

xoo' no question of who truman liked or didn't like. when he arrive in the senate, he said, you know, for the first six months, you're going to wander, harry, how you got here. and after that, you're gong to wander how the rest of us got here. truman had a retrospect and there he is holding hearings. >> how much did you write this section? >> that section is mostly neil mcneil. >> he's indifferent to is it station's request, meaning the station in his hometown, home state of tennessee. and preoccupied for managing his proceedings, he was first unmindful that the hearing was being broadcast. the public's reaction, houf, was spectacular. why then later on if the public's reaction spectacular did the senate fight themselves so much not to put them on to it. russell long,he was a great opponent. >>issue of the senate rules. the fact that the public will lose respect for the senate when there's an endless series of quorum calls. the senate's medium with the opponents of it. we hear that today about the supreme court. we can't have the broadc

truman had announced the truman doctrine and 40 and 47 which most historians mark as the beginning of the cold war. and then the point of that, the threat that true man identified the response from unidentified was actually quite incoherent. american defenses were low and there was aimed the demobilization after world war ii. so it really took the korean war to create all the policies that we now see that is the permanent standing army, the huge defense budgets, the perception of the block and the idea that any communist victory anywhere is somehow a threat to american national security. all of that came about because of the curry in war and also because of the korean war there was a collision between government and defense industry. and so, the start of birth of the military-industrial complex that eisenhower leader warned the nation against in the military industrial 1861. for china the effect of the korean war was also a profound because the laws during the korean war we must remember that first china fought the world's greatest superpower to a standstill and that created a huge pr

with harry truman and the joint chiefs to lightning joe collins not to go beyond that. later they said that we should have but remember that ridgway had the relief of macarthur in 1951 he became commander in tokyo but we had the stalemated and anybody at that time the white house and hauer -- i am eisenhower but they didn't. and ridgway leaders as he reflected back on this he said well, it is not fair to me to say at one point in time i should have crossed the 30th parallel and adamle to china when i just saved it. i saved it for you. you were the civilian overseers and in the next 12 months decided not to do something that was against my advice. he took my advice and now years later you are criticizing me for not doing what you say i should have done. so he honored the civilian relationship and he made it clear in a number of essays that while he liked douglas macarthur personally and respected his mother to react and then because he jeopardized that very valuable relationship and tension between the civilian and military. >> host: i would like to hear more about that

i thought to continue through to the truman administration, not just because harry truman had been part of the roosevelt era but because by continuing up until 1952-53, we can see some features of modern realities that might have remained somewhat obscure, two in particular. the first concerns the layering of fear in american life. fear is generated by circumstances that go beyond those of ordinary risk. life is full of risks. we buy a home, we hope it goes up in value. until leeson read always goes up in value. remarry, half of marriages today don't end well, they end in divorce but we have a sense we know something about the parameters of risk when we buy a home or mary but there are some circumstances that seem absolutely unique, that shatter our understanding of the status quo that make it difficult, even impossible to reckon with the true dimensions of risk. the collapse of capitalism after 1929 was such a fear generating experience, certainly for americans. unemployment rate, 25%. in an age when most women were not in the labour force, that meant something like half of american ad

it was really bess truman. i have seen her at a party. party reception to the club in march and talk to her briefly and was so sure he would not run again. she didn't. he spent a lot of time -- did not like the white house. >> nixon campaigned beside him throughout. i think she never really dreamed of being in the white house. >> she would shake 4000 hands in one afternoon. she did not have the ambition. she did not have it. >> we will find out in heaven. [laughter] >> 1960 election, she was ambitious. 1960. from what i have read and from what i know, in 1968, she was not. she did it because she wanted to. she once said, i've given up up everything i've ever cared for in my life to make my husband president. >> after the california governorship, she had really had it. >> my question concerns questions to first lady's that probably should not be asked, and questions that should not be answered. if a first lady declines to answer a question, she will probably get more negative fallout from refusal to answer than if she intrigued answers. is

harry truman was not joking hen he called her the boss. he said later in life, i never made a serious decision without consulting beth. i did two oral history interviews two years ago, they were both speech writers for truman. they would sit down and truman would have these check sessions where they will go through a speech. truman will say check, i like that and don't like this. whenever they finish the long session, truman will say the same thing. i will take this up tonight and run it by the boss and we'll finalize it tomorrow. there's that personal role which we're all talking about. secondly it's a social influence role. we don't have a monarch. think about michelle obama on magazine covers. she's been on more than kim kardashian. mrs.obama is an iconic figure as all first ladies are. they're always ranked in the top 10 most admired women in the world. eleanor roosevelt goes out and embraces mary anderson and the daughters of the american revolution find out she's african-american and don't want her to perform. eleanor roosevelt was o

president truman put the medal of honor around his neck, but few on years later on a hero's tour he leftt the hotel. when he returned it was gone. 42 years later, in 1987, jackson got a call that his medal was on display a tv repair shop. owner said he bought it for $300 at a gun show in charlotte. he agreed to send the metal back but what he sent back wasn't his medal of honor. it was fake. for the next 25 years, f.b.i. agents shot he had kept the real medal for himself and give jackson a fact simply. after we started looking into it new evidence came to lighted that shockingly may have never possessed the real medal and what he bought at the gun show was a fake which means art jackson's medal of honor is still out there somewhere, in display case or tucked away in someone's safe inscribed with his name, president truman and pelalu. statute of limitations of theft or selling or buying a medal of honor has long since run out. jackson has replacement medals but the f.b.i. would like to return to him the genuine article. what he received from a president 67 years ago. congressional medal o
