A review by xxstefaniereadsxx
Truman by David McCullough

informative slow-paced

4.0

 Harry S Truman was born in 1884 in Missouri. He was a member of the National Guard, and wound up serving in World War I. After his service, he entered the political world, becoming a Senator. Eventually, he was elected as Vice President, but soon gained the Presidency upon the death of FDR. This book holds a wealth of information about Truman's life and activities. I thoroughly enjoy the biographies written by this author and have had this one on my shelf for quite some time. I wanted to read a biography about each US President, as I am not terribly interested in US History and am lacking in knowledge about some historical figures here. I was very pleased with this book.
