Watch Truman, Eisenhower, & Kennedy

When Truman succeeded FDR, no one thought he would so decisively end WWII with the atomic bomb, follow with the Marshall Plan and Truman Doctrine, and then be reelected to conduct the Korean War. The popular General Eisenhower continued the cold war during the McCarthy era. America was ready for a change with the stylish Kennedy, who succeeded with the Cuban missile crisis, but his assassination cut his promise short.
