“This is an awesome biography. What I love about it is that Truman was someone you could look at and think, 'That could be me.' But that was all on the outside: his humble background, mediocre performance in school, and early financial troubles and failed business. But then as president, he presided over some of the toughest and most consequential decisions in American history, and kicked ass! Check the ratings by historians of America's best presidents, and you'll see him near the top.”
