Truman, by David McCullough, is written with such excellence. McCullough takes you from Harry S. Truman’s pioneer days (his parents migrated from Kentucky to western Missouri) to his life on the family farm, from World War I to World War II, and on to Truman’s predictions about the Soviet Union. A truly awesome read!
