  • "Few U.S. presidents have captured the imagination of the American people as has Harry S. Truman, "the man from Missouri." In this major new biography, Robert h. Ferrell, widely regarded as an authority on the thirty-third president, challenges the popular characterization of Truman as a man who rarely sought the offices he received, revealing instead a man who-with modesty, commitment to service, and basic honesty-moved with method and system toward the presidency."@en

No other historian has ever demonstrated such command over the vast amounts of material that Robert Ferrell brings to bear on the unforgettable story of Truman's life. Based upon years of research in the Truman Library and the study of many never-before-used primary sources, Harry S. Truman: A Life is destined to become the authoritative account of the nation's favorite president."@en
  • "Many Americans believe that Truman was guided by fate, rather than will, to the political positions he held. He, however, proudly regarded himself as a consummate politician whose modesty and basic honesty aided his skillful rise to the presidency. Based upon years of research, Ferrell debunks many of the myths that have grown up around "the man from Missouri." Ferrell documents Truman's ambition and powerful commitment to service, along with his shrewdness and exceptional ability to judge people."
