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。
评分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."

评分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。
