Before he was president, Harry Truman was a freshman senator from Missouri facing a country on the brink of war—and a government ripe for corruption. "The Watchdog," the riveting book by NPR’s Steve Drummond, tells the true story of how Truman took on waste and profiteering in the early days of World War II, leading a bipartisan crusade that saved lives, recovered millions, and launched him onto the national stage.
As America scrambled to build an army and arsenal at record speed, Truman formed an unlikely committee that challenged powerful defense contractors, questioned Pentagon officials, and made headlines for its fearless investigations. With access to newly uncovered records, firsthand interviews, and decades of research, Drummond reveals the behind-the-scenes maneuvering and moral resolve that defined Truman’s rise.
