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...
評分人首先他要優秀 然後齣生在一個閤適的時代,杜魯門,齣現在最偉大之一的羅斯福總統之後,他也有優秀的能力,但是剛開始他的光輝被羅斯福遠遠遮蓋,但是他依舊發揮他自己的特色,努力,善良,執著,成為美國人新的驕傲。如果當時羅斯福沒有正好去世,如果當時不是因為亂世,也許...

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...

杜魯門是屌絲齣身的總統,沒上過大學,農民齣身,當過兵,和人閤開過服裝飾品店,一輩子都在為錢而操心,對朋友忠心,說話滿嘴跑火車得罪瞭不少文化人,如果不是小羅斯福的逝世而由副總統繼位,他自己能當上總統的可能性微乎其微。然,一輩子大風大浪,下令投原子彈,打冷戰,打韓戰,馬歇爾計劃援助歐洲。 雖然本書得瞭普利策奬,文字還是有些囉嗦。 推薦。
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."
評分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DM寫truman這是絕配!倆人的質地也挺匹配的。就是非常囉嗦非常長..美國群眾吃這套popular history的範兒...HST也是個絕頂聰明的人 和FDR完全不一樣的聰明。不過他毀掉瞭Stevenson的機會 老瞭還略糊塗。
