"The buck stops here", said someone.

That someone was Harry S. Truman, who succeeded Roosevelt during WW II. And was succeeded in turn by Eisenhower.

I randomly picked up https://www.amazon.com/Where-Buck-Stops-Personal-Writings/dp... in a used bookstore. I'm glad I did. It is Truman's take on every president up through Eisenhower. Truman was known for his blunt language, but even he asked that it not be published until after he and his wife died.

I don't agree with him on many things. But his take on leadership is very enlightening.
