 "Outstanding. . . . by far the best yet about the fateful [1948] election." -Minneapolis Star-Tribune

 "Coherent, compelling. . . . A skillful, authoritative investigation." -Kirkus Reviews

 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.

 "A terrific book. . . . a must-read." -Ron Faucheux, former editor-in-chief, Campaigns & Elections magazine 

 "David Pietrusza brilliantly portrays President Harry Truman's successful efforts to stave off the challenge of New York Gov. Tom Dewey, who was making a repeat bid as the Republican nominee." -David Mark, journalist, political analyst, and author of Going Dirty: The Art of Negative Campaigning

 "Sweeping . . . compelling." -Library Journal
