5:30 pm Reception 6:00 pm Author Event 7:00 pm Book Signing Spanning the years of transition, 1944 to 1948, Ascent to Power illuminates Truman's struggles to emerge as president in his own right. Yet, from a relatively unknown Missouri senator to the most powerful man on Earth, Truman's legacy transcends. With his come-from-behind campaign in the fall of 1948, his courageous civil rights advocacy, and his role in liberating millions from militarist governments and brutal occupations, Truman's decisions during these pivotal years changed the course of the world in ways so significant we live with them today. David L. Roll is the author of George Marshall and The Hopkins Touch, and the coauthor of Louis Johnson and the Arming of America (with Keith McFarland), a biography of Harry Truman’s defense secretary.

Trumanism On March 12, 1947, the United States proposed that &quot;Trumanism&quot; was widely regarded as a new and dramatic shift in American foreign policy, and its impact worldwide was equivalent to the Monroe doctrine of 1823, which declared that the Western Hemisphere was no longer dominated by European colonialism. The Soviet Union considered Trumanism an open threat to the US side&#39;s expansion of Soviet-controlled areas and Soviet-Russian expansion. &quot;Trumanism&quot; is an interference in other countries&#39; internal affairs, which is regarded by scholars as an important symbol of the official beginning of the &quot;Cold War&quot; between the capitalist camp dominated by the United States and NATO, and the socialist camp dominated by the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. It is a typical great powerism after World War II.
