Jeff's Uncool history series continues with a look at Harry S. Truman."Truman" by David McCullough.
Once again, if you haven't read any David McCullough, you should get off your butt and get to the library. This is fascinating book about a dude I probably would not have given a second look to if not for this book.
The one thing I still can't get over: Truman was almost forty years old WHEN HE ENTERED POLITICS.
He owned a failed clothing store. He wasn't a lawyer. He didn't graduate college. He was just a regular dude for the most part who became president. If it was a novel or a made-up movie, it wouldn't be believable.
