Memoirs by Harry S. Truman 在 Amazon 的銷量排行榜排到 60 萬,恐怕未必買到,而且回憶錄恐非理想的傳記。我認為不妨考慮 David McCullough 的 Truman,這本 1993 普立茲獲獎傳記在 Amazon 的銷量排榜排在 2 千名左右,應該不難買到。241 個評論仍有 5 粒星,應該水準不俗。

This warm biography of Harry Truman is both an historical evaluation of his presidency and a paean to the man's rock-solid American values. Truman was a compromise candidate for vice president, almost an accidental president after Roosevelt's death 12 weeks into his fourth term. Truman's stunning come-from-behind victory in the 1948 election showed how his personal qualities of integrity and straightforwardness were appreciated by ordinary Americans, perhaps, as McCullough notes, because he was one himself. His presidency was dominated by enormously controversial issues: he dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, established anti-Communism as the bedrock of American foreign policy, and sent U.S. troops into the Korean War. In this winner of the 1993 Pulitzer Prize, McCullough argues that history has validated most of Truman's war-time and Cold War decisions. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
