…Undaunted Courage or Nothing Like It In the World (both by Stephen Ambrose).

David McCullough's biography of Harry Truman is fantastic and ends up covering a broad range of history from the late 1800s through the Korean War.

I’d suggest reading some reviews of the Ambrose books before committing to reading the books. The latter one mentioned has quite a few “issues,” as I recall.

The Truman book was—and may still be—required reading in many schools for AP US History, which I suppose counts for something.
