Award-winning historian David Pietrusza unpacks the most ingloriously iconic headline in the history of presidential elections-DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN-to reveal the 1948 campaign's backstage events and recount the down-to-the-wire brawl fought against the background of an erupting Cold War, the Berlin Airlift, the birth of Israel, and a post-war America facing exploding storms over civil rights and domestic communism.
