His biography "Truman" is the best bio I have ever read. I've read it three times, and each time I read it, it teaches me something new about politics and human nature.

"1776" and "Mornings on Horseback" are both excellent as well.

I agree and conclude that it's McCullough's best biographic work because Truman was the most transparent president of the 20th Century; and the most effective post WW II.

Given the time in which he was required to make critical decisions--Greece, the Marshal Plan, Iron Curtain, Berlin, NATO, Korea, MacArthur, Armed Serices Act of '47, the hydrogen bomb, Eugene McCarthy and the myriad other crises in conjuction with the on-set of the Cold War, Harry S Truman(no period, his middle name is the letter ''S'' not the first letter of a middle name), will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents.
