About This Item
From the front dust jacket flap: "The astonishing untold story of Bess W. Truman and her love for her husband, Harry, as only their daughter could tell it."
"Bess W. Truman is more than a rare, intimate, and surprising portrait of a famous First Lady who kept her deepest feelings - and considerable influence on President Truman - hidden from public view. It is also the heartwarming story of an enduring love and a remarkable political partnership."
Margaret has drawn on her personal reminiscences and a treasure trove of letters never before published - over 1,000 from Bess and several hundred from Harry. Through their frank and uninhibited correspondence, we get a detailed picture of their lifelong love affair and marriage.
Book - Very Good condition. Light paper over boards with gold gilt text on navy cloth spine. Very minimal edge/corner wear. Pages/text are clean. Binding is tight. There is a light spot on the bottom of the closed book pages. There are three sections of black and white photographs.
Dust Jacket - Very Good condition. Clean. Very minimal edge/corner wear. One tiny nick at bottom, back spine.
Please use photos as part of the description.
445 pages including Index.
