If you are looking for an educational and fun read, then this collection of stories about Harry Truman is a winner. As a history student, I have admired the man for years, but really did not know much about his personal life. I had heard his mother-in-law hated him, but was not aware about how his wife brow-beat him. Books like this are important as it helps to bring the history and historical figures to life. We tend to put celebrities, politicians, and other people on television on a pedestal. It is far too easy to forget that these people are just regular folks. Harry Truman is definitely ordinary folks!
