Truman

Truman - David McCullough I've heard McCullough accused of hagiography, but didn't know what was meant. The book left me with no real memory or opinion of Truman, but how can one write about a man who replaced Roosevelt at the most critical point in WWII, decided to drop 2 atomic bombs and inflame a war in Korea, without at least discussing the controversies behind such decisions in a meaningful way?
