Here is what people are saying about the Truman by David McCullough, ISBN 0743508068
5 Star Rating  "Outstanding Biography"2009-11-04
- Reviewed By User: A1X54S891LFVWP

Another great effort by McCullough who ranks among our greatest historians. To be honest, I avoided this book for some time just because of the size of it; and I didn't really think President Truman warranted that type of treatment. But McCullough's books are always a pleasure.

While McCullough often seems to be a little too pro Truman, the book is like Truman, fair and to the point. The book takes Truman from his early days in Missouri to the Senate, the White House and beyond into retirement.

We get a close up view of the decision to drop the atomic bomb in World War II, implement the Marshall Plan and the Berlin Airlift, and fire Gen. Douglas McArthur. So much of what happened during the Cold War, was the result of policies and decisions made during the Truman presidency.

The book is huge, and I am actually a little puzzled that the publishers did not elect to publish in two parts - the first ending with Truman being catapulted (totally unprepared) to the White House and the second dealing with his Presidency and beyond. But in fairness, both halves of the book are terrific.

David McCullough at his absolute best. Truman was the kind of man that the framers of the constitution had in mind when they wrote it.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent Book"2009-09-04
- Reviewed By User: AQJZU9GEBRWZX
I found this book to be excellent. The author brought to life a president whom I knew little about. It is not by accident that this book won the Pulitzer prize. It is a long book almost 1,000 pages but brings to life a magnificent American. It also brings to life the people who were his friends and enemies: Dean Acheson, Douglas McArthur, Ike Eisenhower, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. The amount of research the author had to do to compose this book is incredible. It also was very enlightening in understanding all the challenging issues Truman had to face during his presidency.

It was well worth the time in reading.
 
5 Star Rating  "I'm getting too old to read books this long, but this one was worth it"2009-09-01

Writing a complementary review is the least I could do for Mr. McCullough, who reportedly researched Truman for 10 years before finishing his book. Thinking more deeply into this, can you believe you can get 10 years of a man's labor for 11.21$ (on the amazon kindle)????.

Truman is an outstanding book, an absolute Tour de Force, similar in scope and power to other recently written biographies, "Team of Rivals," by Doris Kearns Goodwin (which also won the Pulitzer prize) and "Snowball," by Alice Schroeder.

The book's greatest strength is the depth of research done...that shows how a young man, a farmer, without a college degree, but with tremendous integrity, rises to president of the United States...a book which covers a vast amount of terrifically interesting American history during, especially, the period of WWII, from the unique perspective of Harry Truman. An ancient Chinese curse reads, "may you live in interesting times." Well, Truman was the president in some very, very interesting times...
 
3 Star Rating  "Good read, well written, but a bit too pro-Truman"2009-08-13
- Reviewed By the_karl
I really enjoyed reading the book. The writing style was smooth and the writer made events come alive. Although the book was rather long, it was lively throughout and, I think, captured the personality of Truman very well. I very much enjoyed reading about the many tumultuous events that Truman faced, viewed through the eyes of Truman.

OTOH... From the start, it was clear that the author was hardly dispassionate in his portrayal of Truman. It struck me that this was a book, much like I've seen about other American figures (Lee especially), that places them on pedestals and creates almost a dehumanizing view of, in the case of Truman, a very human individual. Truman, most of all, would have blushed at many of the glowing portrayals of his life and the very sympathetic-to-Truman characterization of events.

This book is extremely well researched and written. But as one who likes his history straight, not diluted by ideological bias or agenda, I was somewhat disappointed.

This is a massive biography that is all-encompassing yet intimate, shrewd yet warm, history-laden yet immensely entertaining. All the well-deserved praise and Truman's accomplishments have been detailed below, so I will just discuss how much I was able to appreciate it. First you have the man himself; Truman was a simple man who was anything but, and a man who was derided for not being a college-educated intellectual, yet had the precious sagacity that led America through its most challenging times near the end of WWII and the Korean War. If this were a novel he would be an unbelievable protagonist- here he is a powerful yet incredibly accessible man elevated to greatness through circumstance and his God-given good heart and common sense. It was this Missouri-bred humility which earned the respect of Stalin and Churchill, and led to a stunning victory in 1948. Next is McCullough's writing style, which here is particularly engaging; major world events like the atom bomb, the Berlin Airlift, and the Potsdam Conference are mixed in with human stories of Truman being subservient to his world-weary wife, or writing a condemnatory letter to a journalist who panned his daughter's opera performance. Another fascinating aspect of this book is the insane series of events which Truman had to face during his time in office, and how when all was said and done he never stopped being an American hero for so many of us. The overall effect here is of deep reverence to a major historical figure, told through a masterpiece of scholarship. This is a must for anyone interested in the art of biography and especially for those with even a passing interest in American/world history.
