Query: Unbalanced Biography

David McCullough writes well but tends to leave out the negative aspects of his subject's personality traits. Truman was impetuous and suffered from feeling that the Presidency was too big for him. He permitted himself to be dominated at times by small town friends with their petty influence peddling. Truman never took complete control of the office to demand personal integrity of subordinates nor did he demand high quality performance from them. The fact that he got it from some people reflects the awe that the Office of the President imposes on those selected to serve. Truman's sense of his own "smallness" resulted in smearing his time in office with charges of corruption laid against his associates. McCullough avoided discussion of this aspect of Truman's personality and the important influence on his ability to govern.McCullough did the same with his John Adams' biography.
