HISTORY. "With the down-home, across-the-back-fence feeling of a born storyteller from Missouri, the thirty-third president speaks directly and conversationally to the reader about the office of the presidency, about the eight best and eight worst US presidents, and about his own experiences in office. The result is a fascinating, readable American history, one that shares with 'the ordinary man' the inner workings of America's democracy from an extraordinary perspective . Nearly every page contains a nugget of wisdom, a little-known anecdote, or a 'Trumanism, ' as Harry Truman tells you exactly what's on his mind ..." ..Index.. 0446514942.
