'''Harry S Truman''' was the 33rd [[President of the United States of America]], taking over from President [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] during the [[Second World War]].  He is perhaps best remembered for his decision that the first [[atomic bomb]]s were dropped on the [[Japan|Japanese]] cities of [[Hiroshima]] and [[Nagasaki]], and his attempts to address emerging [[civil rights]] issues in the years afterward.
