Ascent to Power tells the story of Franklin Roosevelt's presidency from 1944 to 1948. Roosevelt, in failing health, chose Senator Harry Truman as his vice president. After FDR's death, Truman was thrust into the presidency, facing challenges like Germany's collapse, Europe's ruins, UN organization, and the Soviet Union's growing hostility. Truman's legacy, including his come-from-behind campaign in 1948, civil rights advocacy, and liberation of millions from militarist governments, continues to impact the world today.
