Truman captured the heart of the nation. The life and times of the 33rd president of the United States, Truman provides a deeply moving look at an extraordinary, singular American. From Truman's small-town, turn-of-the-century boyhood and his transforming experience in the face of war in 1918, to his political beginnings in the powerful Pendergast machine and his rapid rise to prominence in the U.S. Senate, McCullough shows a man of uncommon vitality and strength of character. Here too is a telling account of Truman's momentous decision to use the atomic bomb and the weighty responsibilities that he was forced to confront on the dawning of a new age. Distinguished historian and Pulitzer-Prize-winning author David McCullough tells one of the greatest American stories in this stirring audio adaptation of Truman - a compelling, classic portrait of a life that shaped history. Critic Reviews: McCulloughs marvelous feel for history is based on an appreciation of colorful tales and an insight intopersonalities. In this compelling saga of Americas greatest common-man president, McCullough adds luster to an old-fashioned historical approach.... the sweeping narrative, filled with telling details and an appreciation of the role individuals play in shaping the world. (Walter Isaacson, Time) McCullough is a master storyteller whose considerable narrative skills have been put to exquisite use in re-creating the life and times of Americas 33rd president. (Robert Dallek, Los Angeles Times Book Review) Perhaps the highest tribute one can pay a biographer is to say that through him one comes to know his subject almost as though in person. In fostering the readers acquaintance with Harry Truman, not once does McCullough get in the way. This is in every respect a splendid work. (Myron A. Marty, St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
