According to the book American Gunfight, by Stephen Hunter and John Bainbridge Jr, Truman dismissed Baughman's predecessor James J. Maloney in part because he had dispatched most of Truman's Secret Service detail to New York to prepare to guard New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Dewey was widely expected to be elected president but was beaten by Truman in one of the greatest upsets in presidential election history. " (from Wikipedia). Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
