Shortly after he left office, President Truman began to write down his typically blunt, honest commentaries about FDR and his other colleagues, the job of the presidency, the workings of the government and the Constitution, and his picks for the nation's best and worst presidents. Since he pulled no punches and minced no words, he asked that these writings be released to the public only after he and his wife were gone. Now, edited by his daughter Margaret, these writings have been published at last. You'll find it an extraordinary reading experience, as folksy, plain spoken and wonderfully wise as the man who wrote it. Description text copyright 2008 BooksForComfort. Item ID 17553.
