History calls for Harry Truman to unite the Western world against Soviet communism, but first he must rally the Republicans and Democrats behind the most dramatic foreign policy shift America since George Washington delivered his farewell address. How did one of the presidents least prepared to enter the Oval Office become one of the most successful?
The year is 1947. The Soviet Union has transformed from a nasty ally of the United States during the Second World War into America’s most feared enemy. With Joseph Stalin’s ambitions moving westward, Türkiye was pressured from the east while communist revolutionaries swept over Greece. The British Empire was battered after the war with Hitler and suddenly stood on the brink of financial ruin.

Truman’s triumph over the personal and political struggles he faced after taking office is an inspiring story of American leadership, fierce determination, bipartisan solidarity party and courage in the face of the growing Soviet threat. Saving Freedom explores one of the most important moments of the 20th century, a turning point when patriotic Americans of both political parties joined together to defeat autocracy.
