Another one there is no pic for. A very good brief biography covering only the presidential years. This is one of those recent library purchases that is one in a series of 20th Century American biographies. Not sure how many were in the series, but this is the only one they had that I saw. The sub title says what the book mainly deals with. His continuation of FDR's new deal policies and the cold war that erupted after the end of WWII. Those parts were interesting enough, then throwing in the decision to drop the big one and the unfolding of the Korean War were the best parts for me. Old Harry was sure an anti-communist doing his best to hold back the Soviet expansion, not knowing that China would be his eventual foe in Korea. The firing of McArthur would become his biggest controversy.

Grade - A

next up - The Almighty by Irving Wallace
