I am currently reading the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Truman, by David McCullough. This fine book is not new, but is new to me. Over the next days I will be presenting various tid-bits of information from this book.
At the moment I am reading about the famous whistle-stop campaign of 1948. The thing I like best about this book besides its engagingstyle, are the quotes of Harry Truman. The statements of "Give-'em-hell Harry" are often pithy and full of energy and spritz.
Please check here for further reports on this campaign which has relevance to today's Presidential campaign.
