From Wikipedia: Truman is a multi-award winning 1995 HBO movie based on David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Truman.[1] Starring Gary Sinise as Harry S. Truman, the film centers on Truman's rise to the presidency from humble beginnings, World War II, and his decision to use the first atomic bomb. The film's tagline is "It took a farmer's hand to shape a nation."
WNU Editor: In view of President Obama's remarks on Hiroshima today .... it is fitting that I post this movie tonight on the U.S. President who ordered the bombing.
Not one of my favourites, but he did reign in MacArthur to the relief of the world (Ridgeway was a better general anyway).
