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.
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.
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."
评分杜鲁门是屌丝出身的总统,没上过大学,农民出身,当过兵,和人合开过服装饰品店,一辈子都在为钱而操心,对朋友忠心,说话满嘴跑火车得罪了不少文化人,如果不是小罗斯福的逝世而由副总统继位,他自己能当上总统的可能性微乎其微。然,一辈子大风大浪,下令投原子弹,打冷战,打韩战,马歇尔计划援助欧洲。 虽然本书得了普利策奖,文字还是有些啰嗦。 推荐。

评分非常之人必来自非常家族 语言平实,前半部分略显啰嗦。Tom Pendergast几个大佬身上隐约看到了《大西洋帝国》的原型。没有读过大学的美国总统。
人首先他要优秀 然后出生在一个合适的时代,杜鲁门,出现在最伟大之一的罗斯福总统之后,他也有优秀的能力,但是刚开始他的光辉被罗斯福远远遮盖,但是他依旧发挥他自己的特色,努力,善良,执着,成为美国人新的骄傲。如果当时罗斯福没有正好去世,如果当时不是因为乱世,也许...

评分大二的时候,在图书馆看到了这本书。读完之后感慨良多,杜鲁门是一个很平凡的美国人,33岁的时候还在家乡的农场做厂主,后来参加一战由此开启了不平凡的一生。作者的叙述很祥瞻,文笔幽默,我读过很多人物传记,还是认为这是最好的。所以目前在读第二遍。
评分初中时看了一半,后来书弄丢了,可惜。外国人的成长总那么令我向往,感觉自己的生活充满了束缚。为自由而战...
评分美国人对于杜鲁门总统评价不很高, 主要是因为前面有罗斯福总统的巨人阴影,后面有艾森豪威尔总统的和平岁月,衬托得杜鲁门总统活像个乡下人进城,土头土脑的,任期内无大的建树。尤其是战后苏联在东欧的背信弃义与急剧扩张,以及联合国军在朝鲜战争中未能取得全胜,使得美国大...
