Remember that your perspective is completely different from his perspective. It is but another reason why we learn history. Same exact facts can appear completely different from different perspectives. It is why Kennedy so saved all our lives when he kept asking the important question during a Cuban Missile Crisis. What is he being told? What does he see? What does he know? Without those questions, it is a sure probability that the 1st Marine Division would have been nuked on the beaches of Cuba.
Same must be asked before judging Truman from our perspective.
