Discussing "Truman" by David McCullough

From Mustich's website:

Reflecting America’s own best image of itself as a land of opportunity, hardworking pragmatism, and no-nonsense nobility, McCullough tells Truman’s surprising story in revelatory detail, following “the man from Missouri” from the obscurity of a family farm to the unexpected destiny that awaited him in the White House and on the world stage. Both meticulous historian and consummate storyteller, David McCullough writes with unfailing clarity and unflagging narrative zest. Happily, his huge book—the text runs to nearly a thousand pages—is compelling from first page to last.
