Rachel 王 decade08086 — It took my a long time to read this book. It's long (992 pages in the paperback edition, not including notes, acknowledgments and so forth), and I'm a slow reader. And I kept getting interrupted by annoying things, such as work. But I always looked forward to picking it up. I think what makes it such a vibrant biography is the astonishing use of little details. Did it have to be quite so long? I don't think so. As fascinating as the 1948 election was, the section about it became repetitive. I think less space could have been devoted to writing about Truman writing his memoirs. David McCullough obviously admired Truman, and it's hard to come away from reading this book without also admiring Truman. The 33rd president, as depicted by McCullough, certainly doesn't fit the cartoonish image that I've had in the past. What comes across more than anything is that he was a thoroughly decent man, kind to just about everyone and particularly those who worked for him, and that the presidency didn't change those qualities. His admirable loyalty to friends probably was a fault at times. But I don't know that I would have voted for him if I had been around to vote in 1948. Some of the main themes of his campaign are themes that make me suspicious when I hear politicians say them. He claimed that he was the candidate of "the people." Where do the other candidates get their votes from, amphibians? He said that if voters acted on their own self-interest, they would vote for him. While I won't deny that self-interest is a factor in voting, I'd like to think that a presidential election calls voters to causes that are greater than mere self-interest. Nonetheless, it seems to me that the country was in pretty good hands with Truman as its president.
