David McCullough has twice received the Pulitzer Prize, for Truman and John Adams, and twice received the National Book Award, for The Path Between the Seas and Mornings on Horseback; His other widely praised books are 1776, Brave Companions, The Great Bridge, and The Johnstown Flood. He has been honored with the National Book Foundation Distinguished Contribution to American Letters Award, the National Humanities Medal, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The life of Harry S. Truman is one of the greatest of American stories, filled with vivid characters -- Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bess Wallace Truman, George Marshall, Joe McCarthy, and Dean Acheson -- and dramatic events. In this riveting biography, acclaimed historian David McCullough not only captures the man -- a more complex, informed, and determined man than ever before imagined -- but also the turbulent times in which he rose, boldly, to meet unprecedented challenges. The last president to serve as a living link between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries, Truman s story spans the raw world of the Missouri frontier, World War I, the powerful Pendergast machine of Kansas City, the legendary Whistle-Stop Campaign of 1948, and the decisions to drop the atomic bomb, confront Stalin at Potsdam, send troops to Korea, and fire General MacArthur. Drawing on newly discovered archival material and extensive interviews with Truman s own family, friends, and Washington colleagues, McCullough tells the deeply moving story of the seemingly ordinary "man from Missouri" who was perhaps the most courageous president in our history.

美國人對於杜魯門總統評價不很高, 主要是因為前麵有羅斯福總統的巨人陰影,後麵有艾森豪威爾總統的和平歲月,襯托得杜魯門總統活像個鄉下人進城,土頭土腦的,任期內無大的建樹。尤其是戰後蘇聯在東歐的背信棄義與急劇擴張,以及聯閤國軍在朝鮮戰爭中未能取得全勝,使得美國大...
評分初中時看瞭一半,後來書弄丟瞭,可惜。外國人的成長總那麼令我嚮往,感覺自己的生活充滿瞭束縛。為自由而戰...
評分大二的時候,在圖書館看到瞭這本書。讀完之後感慨良多,杜魯門是一個很平凡的美國人,33歲的時候還在傢鄉的農場做廠主,後來參加一戰由此開啓瞭不平凡的一生。作者的敘述很祥瞻,文筆幽默,我讀過很多人物傳記,還是認為這是最好的。所以目前在讀第二遍。

評分我以前看過杜魯門傳,但是那套書後來找不到瞭。 隻是記得作者是得過普利策奬的。 杜魯門是一個很可愛的人。他相信所有的矛盾都是由誤會産生的。也就是說他相信所有人都是好人,都是善良的。大傢産生瞭誤會,於是就會有分歧和矛盾。 杜魯門擔任參議員,在黨內選舉成為羅斯福的...

非常之人必來自非常傢族 語言平實,前半部分略顯囉嗦。Tom Pendergast幾個大佬身上隱約看到瞭《大西洋帝國》的原型。沒有讀過大學的美國總統。
評分杜魯門1952年離任時,民意支持率跌至24%。艾森豪威爾兩屆任內從沒請他迴去坐坐;肯尼迪寜願請教時任杜魯門國務卿的Acheson也不會去找他。大傢心中他隻是一介農民,不過是因為FDR突然離世纔被推上最高政治舞颱。直到92年 Truman齣版,大眾纔意識到What a TRUE man Truman was. 書還因此得瞭普利策奬。能讓一個偉人再活過來,是多少史學傢的夢想呢。Finished on 7/3/2014
評分One of the most interesting US Presidents of the 20th Century. A simple little big man; a great man with ultimate internal security. Learned a great deal. My 1000-pager of the year. Such a joyful read. "The one thing new in this world is the history you don't know." "Intense feeling often obscures truth."
