Editorial Reviews

This warm biography of Harry Truman is both an historical evaluation of his presidency and a paean to the man's rock-solid American values. Truman was a compromise candidate for vice president, almost an accidental president after Roosevelt's death 12 weeks into his second term. Truman's stunning come-from-behind victory in the 1948 election showed how his personal qualities of integrity and straightforwardness were appreciated by ordinary Americans, perhaps, as McCullough notes, because he was one himself. His presidency was dominated by enormously controversial issues: he dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, established anti-Communism as the bedrock of American foreign policy, and sent U.S. troops into the Korean War. In this winner of the 1993 Pulitzer Prize, McCullough argues that history has validated most of Truman's war-time and Cold War decisions. 
 

Yale Review, Gaddis Smith 
McCullough has done the hard work necessary for good history and has added zest and imagination . . . the Truman story meets a deep need to reaffirm personal values and to dream that the country can somehow "go home" . . . to leaders who speak for themselves, who are in touch with the people, and who campaign on the issues

I took a course in speed reading. Then I got Reader's Digest on microfilm. By the time I got the machine set up, I was done.

I just got out of the hospital. I was in a speed reading accident. I hit a book mark and flew across the room.
