This book is a biographical and historiographical examination of Truman's rhetoric and handling of colonialism. Truman's position regarding European colonialism is a worthy topic since it facilitates the study of the United States' treatment of people in underdeveloped countries and allows insight into Truman's beliefs. The research methodology and detailed references noted within the book include primary sources drawn principally from the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum as well as numerous secondary sources relating to Truman's Presidency. The focus of the book is on President Truman and his administration's oratory and diplomatic decisions regarding colonial issues. The findings presented in detail show that Truman demonstrated through both his public and private communications that he opposed colonialism. Furthermore, the bulk of the foreign policy decisions made by Truman's administration showed a tendency to oppose colonialism. Nonetheless, Truman aided French efforts to reestablish control over former colonies in Indochina and this deviation undermined his otherwise anti-colonial legacy for future generations.
