The watchdog : how the Truman Committee battled corruption and helped win World War Two / Steve Drummond. by Drummond, Steve, author. Toronto, Ontario, Canada : Hanover Square Press, [2023] Subjects Truman, Harry S., 1884-1972.   United States. Congress. Senate. Special Committee Investigating the National Defense Program.   World War, 1939-1945 -- United States.   Political corruption -- History -- 20th century.   United States -- Politics and government -- 1933-1945. ISBN:  9781335449504 (hardcover) : 1335449507 (hardcover) Description:  447 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Months before Pearl Harbor, Franklin D. Roosevelt knew that the United States was on the verge of entering another world war for which it was dangerously ill-prepared. The urgent times demanded a transformation of the economy, with the government bankrolling the unfathomably expensive task of enlisting millions of citizens while also producing the equipment necessary to successfully fight--all of which opened up opportunities for graft, fraud and corruption. In The Watchdog, Steve Drummond draws the reader into the fast-paced story of how Harry Truman, still a newcomer to Washington politics, cobbled together a bipartisan team of men and women that took on powerful corporate entities and the Pentagon, placing Truman in the national spotlight and paving his path to the White House." -- inside front jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.5373 Dr Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5373 Dr Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5373 Dr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
