Summary
"Historians have tended to portray Harry Truman as stolid and decisive, with a homespun manner, but the man who emerges in The Trials of Harry S. Truman is complex and surprising. He was a man with generous impulses, loyal to friends and family, but quick to anger and prone to hasty decisions. Archival discoveries and research have contributed to an indelible and deeply human portrait of an ordinary man suddenly forced to shoulder extraordinary responsibilities, who never lost a schoolboy's romantic love for his country and its Constitution"--From the publisher's web site
