It's McCullough's book about Truman and it is very interesting.  As for how he would be today, Truman would be marching with Obama/Reid/Pelosi, albeit in an honest and straight forward way.  But he was a dedicated New Dealer.  Despite being wrong on his political views he had a lot of characteristics missing in most politicians today.  Still a very good read.

One interesting fact, while as Roosevelt's VP he lived in a 2 bedroom apartment on Connecticut Avenue with his mother in law and had no Secret Service detail, at least initially.  After he was sworn into office as President when Roosevelt died he went home to his apartment.  They said the busiest phone in DC at the time was his apartment building because when they found out he was now the President people were calling to get his apartment.  Typical inside the beltway lore....
