The Public Papers of the Presidents series, prepared by the Office of the Federal Register and published by the Government Printing Office, gathers the official messages, speeches, statements, and news conferences of each administration. The eight Truman volumes, issued between 1961 and 1966, document one of the most consequential presidencies in American history, from the final months of the Second World War and the decision to use the atomic bomb through the founding of the United Nations, the Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine, the recognition of Israel, the desegregation of the armed forces, and the Korean War. Harry S. Truman (1884-1972), the thirty-third President of the United States, assumed office on the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt in April 1945 and served until 1953.
