Arnold, General Henry H.  The edited wartime diaries of General Hap Arnold are an account of the four-year odyssey that took him to every continent, but one, as he participated in deliberations that involved Allied leaders in major diplomacy/strategy meetings with Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill, Josef Stalin, Charles de Gaulle, and Chiang Kai-shek.  Arnold recorded comments of the various participants. His twelve diaries contain thoughts, ranging from being lost over the Himalayas to comforting the wounded as they were airlifted from the Normandy beaches.  He experienced an air raid in London and viewed the carnage in recently liberated Manila.  Arnold recorded his honest impressions, from private meetings with King George VI in Buckingham Palace to eating from mess kits with his combat crews in the North African desert--all while perceptively commenting on the many issues involved and assessing the people, the culture, and the surroundings.  Arnold’s observations led him to prevail upon Harry Truman to create an experimental facility after the war which resulted in the creation of Arnold Air Force Base near Tullahoma.

Lee, David D.  The close relationship between Governor Henry Horton and Rogers Caldwell led to an investigation of Caldwell's financial activities involving state funds upon the collapse of his empire in 1930.  An investigation led by Horton's political opponent, E.
