Truman by David McCullough

4.0

As is his practice, David McCullough has written another amazing, weighty, and thorough, if overly sympathetic, biography. An incredibly well-researched work, Truman is a satisfying look into the life of the 20th Century's American Cincinnatus, covering his pioneer roots, his humble beginnings, his questionable entry into the political arena, his unlikely rise to the presidency, and his return to "normal" life afterward. If one has the patience and endurance, it is an excellent and well-written read.
