On June 19, 1953, former President Harry Truman embarked on an unprecedented road trip in his Chrysler New Yorker, aiming for a low-key celebration with his wife Bess. Without any Secret Service protection, their journey to visit friends and enjoy Broadway quickly unraveled as eager fans and unexpected encounters revealed Truman's identity. Author Matthew Algeo captures this lively adventure while intertwining insights into postwar America, from the auto industry to the shifting landscape of the nation’s highways. By retracing their route, listeners are invited to gain a deeper appreciation for Truman as America’s last citizen-president.
