In Harry and Arthur: Truman, Vandenberg, and the Partnership That Created the Free World, Lawrence J. Haas *81 describes the close but unlikely partnership between Harry Truman and Senator Arthur Vandenberg that confronted the challenges facing the nation in the wake of World War II and the death of President Roosevelt.
