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 Pulitzer Prize–winning biography of Harry S. Truman, whose presidency included momentous events from the atomic bombing of Japan to the outbreak of the Cold War and the Korean War, told by America’s beloved and distinguished historian.
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.

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...
