What did Harry Truman do in his free time?

Answer 1

Truman was president all of 1950-51 and 52.

During this time, North Korea invaded South Korea. AUN force, mostly Amercan, attempted to defend South Korea and regain lost ground. China entered the war on the side of North Korea. Truman replaced MacArthur, the chief of US Military operations and the war dragged on, hurting the Democrats in the 1952 election.
