Happy Birthday David McCullough!

The late Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian David McCullough (born July 7, 1933) was a familiar voice to Americans as the narrator of many Ken Burns documentaries. He was a great interview! History comes alive in this 1992 interview with David McCullough on his biography ‘Truman’. No one thought Harry Truman would win the 1948 presidential election. McCullough talks about the improbable win sparked by a late-night Democratic convention speech and the improbable presidency of the haberdasher from Kansas City.
