Summary
Harry Truman delivered his inaugural address on January 20th, 1949. He was locked in a dead heat with Thomas E. Dewey, governor of New York. Dewey was the odds on favorite – so much so that the Chicago Daily Tribune decided to preprint newspapers that proclaimed Dewey's victory over the incumbent. Alas, anyone that bet against Truman lost. Whereas Dewey went the strategy of not saying anything that could ruffle feathers, Truman went all in. If he went down, it would be in glorious flames. Polling was still in its infancy, but the upset victory prophesied elections to come. The cover art is a 1945 portrait of Harry Truman by Greta Kempton.
