Summary:
"The Watchdog draws readers into the story of how Harry Truman, a newcomer to Washington politics, cobbled together a team that took on powerful corporate entities and the Pentagon, placing Truman in the national spotlight and paving his path to the White House. Drawing on the records of the Truman Committee as well as oral histories, letters, newspaper archives and interviews, Steve Drummond brings the committee's work to life. The Watchdog shows us what can be possible if politicians are governed by the principles rather than self-interest"--Back cover.
