Margaret Truman in The Hot War

Margaret Truman (1924-1952) and her mother Bess were killed by the atomic bomb the Soviet Union dropped on Washington, DC in May 1952. Both Margaret and her mother were in the White House at the time of the bombing, and it and the surrounding area was rendered a glassy wasteland.

President Harry Truman privately mourned their deaths while continuing to prosecute the war with renewed determination.
