Truman was president during my first 5 years. I grew up in a Republican household and seldom heard a kind word about him. This biography does a good job describing where he came from and what he did. And yes, he just may have seen more change in his life than any other president.I came away believing that he was an honest man who tried, and usually did, a good job of running what had became the most powerful nation in the world during his years of national service.This is a well written biography.
