Give 'Em Hell: A Killer History Tribute to Harry S. Truman

by Marek McKenna

Give 'Em A Kiler History Tribute to Harry S. Truman Give ‘em Hell! A Killer History Tribute to Harry S. Truman is a series of short personal stories about the human side of the 33rd President of the United States. Truman was a poor Missouri farm boy born in 1884. He married his Sunday school sweet heart and was a World War I war hero. He failed at farming and business before entering politics. He loved fast cars, bourbon, and beating the socks of Winston Churchill in poker. He was a great husband and father. He dropped the atomic bomb on Japan and was continually brow beaten by his mother-in-law.Disclaimer, if you are more comfortable with a politically correct examination of the historical record, you may prefer another book. However, if you can appreciate the lighter side of history, can laugh at the human bias, and frailties of historical figures then you are in the right place. If you prefer your history dull and boring then this is not the book for you.If you enjoyed the previous books in the Killer History series then Give ‘em Hell! A Killer History Tribute to Harry Truman will not disappoint!
