Truman Backgrounders
Truman Backgrounders are short, well-messaged policy memos that help political leaders address tough national security challenges that are in the headlines—or should be. Our Backgrounders help elected leaders, candidates, and others quickly get up to speed on complex issues, and provide them with language to push hard national security problems in a progressive internationalist direction.
