If anyone hasn't read it yet, I heartily recommend the Pulitzer Prize-winning tome on Harry Truman by David McCullough(
Truman). I imagine many of you have already read this over the course of the last few years or so, but it's arguably the best bio of an American President that's been written in the last quarter-century and a must-read for anybody who likes political biographies. Even if you've already completed it it's worth repeated readings.
