"Truman's `private papers' include affectionate, humorous family
correspondence, testy letters never sent, an off-and-on diary, and
numerous complaints about the restrictions imposed by life in the
great white prison."--Atlantic
"Gathered for the first time, Truman's private papers--diaries,
letters, and memoranda--cover the period from his occupancy of the
White House in 1945 to shortly before his death in 1972. Students
and scholars will find valuable material on major events of the
Truman years, from the Potsdam Conference to the Korean War."
--Publishers Weekly
"This delightful book, composed of portions of Truman's diaries,
letters and other private memoranda hitherto buried in the Truman
Library, sharpens the portrait already imprinted in the mind's eye
of his world and achievements."--New Leader
