Do you want to read about a president who was down-to-earth and spoke plainly?

Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States, serving from 1945-1953. He is known for his decisiveness and his willingness to make decisions without consulting with others first. He is also known for being a very honest man - he once said, "I never gave anybody hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell."

Harry S. Truman is remembered as one of America's great presidents for a multitude of reasons, including his plain speaking and determined nature seen at the 1948 Democratic convention. There, he helped to push through a platform that would help to create the modern nation of Israel in an historic move. This recognition of Israel being its own independent state was unprecedented in international politics -- and it was largely attributed to Harry S. Truman for his role as both a president and a statesman in pushing for such a bold move despite resistance from multiple sources.

This biography tells the story of one of America's most interesting presidents in an engaging way. If you want to learn more about American history, or if you are simply interested in reading a good biography, then this book is perfect for you.
