Summary
In a second volume from a series of lectures by presidential scholars, the author of Truman sheds new light on Harry Truman, an ordinary American who became president in difficult times, and how he rose to become one of America's most extraordinary leaders.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and biographer David McCullough lends his unmistakable voice to the Character Above All audio series with a return to the man so memorably profiled in his towering #1 bestseller Truman. Recorded live at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, Austin, McCullough's presentation continues a series of lectures delivered by a team of acclaimed historians, biographers and journalists assembled by editor Robert Wilson to provide a forum for the exploration of the Presidential character. By sharing their insight into the Presidents they have studied and written about, these men and women can focus our attention on the impact of the Presidential character on leadership and the creation of trust. A master biographer speaking on the subject he has already brought to life for millions of readers and listeners, McCullough's discussion of Truman and his presidency confirms why Character Above All is incomparable audio, crackling with the energy and excitement of a great mind at work and the intellectual urgency befitting a topic of lasting national importance.
