    America is full of stories that changed the world in many ways, and I have no doubt that they will continue to do so! Knowing these details when Truman ruled was very rewarding. The guide knew a lot about the issues he raised, plus the Little White House itself is beautiful!

    I had seen documentaries about Truman before, it was good to know more about this person in detail.

    I think it is important when visiting a country you are not familiar with to know some historical and political aspects of the place, that is why I did not hesitate to make this visit. Learning more about the Cold War and trying to understand the context in which the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima is a very good contribution to the general culture.
