1945, World War II has entered its final year; Allied and Soviet armies thrust into the heart of the German Reich; Japan's war machine crumbles as it faces constant American air raids conducted by B-29 bombers, a naval blockade subjecting them to famine and shortages, and the loss of its Empire to the Naval, Air, and Land units of the combined Allied war effort in the Pacific.
In the United States, the man who has lead the American people as its President for nearly 12 years through its darkest hours in the Great Depression and World War II, the immortal Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is beloved by all. However, should there be an abrupt change in leadership, how will the new leader-a simple man from Missouri-lead a heartbroken nation through its bloodiest and most destructive conflict; how will he bring a satisfying conclusion to a great calamity? And how will he help the nation heal its wounds from the trauma of the past 2 decades and move on into a new era of world history?
This is a story about a simple man who, by luck, gets forced onto the position as the leader of the free world. This is a story about the Accidental President-Harry S. Truman.

Deletion of 1940 America: Subtraction in World War II
An alternate scenario of World War II. Typically, these stories involve adding elements, such as equipping Japan with modern technology or granting them knowledge from the future. But that approach feels too conventional, so I tried subtracting instead. I decided to remove the enormous factor that is the United States of America. The result was an entirely different history.
