"No, I didn't read the whole thing, nor will I, but I would like to go back and read more. The sections I did read were very intriguing. Much personal thought and also an insider's peak into the White House during the end of WWII. The letter's from Stalin and Churchhill amidst news flashes were fascinating.
I was really struck by the decisive humility of Truman during this unparalleled time in human history. Decisive in his decisions to end the war, whether you agree with them or not, and his humility in not ever really wanting to become President (coupled with his great respect for Roosevelt) but rising to the task."
"My grandmother had copies of the original two volumes of President Truman's memoirs, and I read them when she was living. If you can find copies of these memoirs, they offer an insight into the thinking of a president who dealt with many complex issues at the end of the Second World War, including the decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan."
