Terry truman biography mccullough

“Truman” is David McCullough’s biography of the 33rd president. It was the first comprehensive biography of Truman and earned the Pulitzer Prize in the Biography category.

McCullough is a highly-acclaimed author and historian who is probably best known for his biography of John Adams. He is currently working on a book about the early settlers of the Northwest Territory tentatively titled &#;The Pioneers.&#;

True to its reputation, this biography is remarkably lively and engaging for a hefty page tome.

McCullough once again demonstrates himself to be an expert storyteller, crafting a fascinating and articulate narrative that generally reads more like fiction than actual history.

A decade in the making, this well-researched biography began to cement Truman&#;s reputation as something more than a simple man of inferior talent who survived politics only by riding coattails and affiliating himself with powerful political bosses.
