In that regard, I found Robert Ferrell's book, "Harry S. Truman: A Life" to be informative and interesting. Ferrell detailed much of Truman's pre-political life, his background on the farm, as a clothing store owner, a judge, and his entry into Politics. And while that background was informative, and provided a good understanding into what drove Truman and how he became the person he was, I felt there was an overemphasis on that portion of his life over his years in the White House. Nonetheless, the major decision points of his Presidency are well covered, and I enjoyed learning more about Truman, as a man and as President.
