The Accidental President: Harry S. Truman and the Four Months That Changed the World by A.J. Baime

4.0

Read for bookclub. I'd never have picked this up on my own, but it was pretty interesting. There was a LOT I did not know (like Truman did not specifically order the second atomic bomb) and I'd had a somewhat negative view of Truman from the stuff I'd heard in the past--KKK, Pendergast machine, etc. But this book has changed my mind on some things. Very readable.
