World War II is often portrayed as a period of national unity and purpose in the USA. However, many of the same divisions present today existed then. As the country pivoted to a war economy and then back to a civilian economy, the opportunities for corruption and incompetence were rife. Enter an honest and capable Senator from Missouri – Harry S. Truman. NPR’s Steve Drummond, author of “The Watchdog – How the Truman Committee Battled Corruption and Helped World War II” guests on The Common Bridge. You’ll enjoy the well-researched history and be grateful for public servants like Mr. Truman.
