Everyone knows the iconic news photo of jubilant underdog Harry Truman brandishing a copy of theChicago Tribuneproclaiming βDEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN.β David Pietrusza goes backstage to explain how it happened, placing the brutal political battle in the context of an erupting Cold War and America's exploding storms over civil rights and domestic communism.
