Description:
From front DJ flap: "It is not commonly known that during several periods in his life President Harry S. Truman took pen in hand to record reminiscences of his childhood, military service and early political career. These reminiscences...as well a other shorter accounts have been thoughtfully pieced together into one continuous narrative by historian Robert H. Ferrell.""This is a warm, friendly and inspiring story of how a farmboy from Grandview, Missouri just happened to become president of the United States. But according to Ferrell, the Autobiography has another aspect worth stressing - that "because it is based entirely on manuscript material in the president's hand...There can be no doubt that the Autobiography is Harry S. Truman himself."
This copy includes a letter copy from Charles S. Murphy, President, Harry S. Truman Library Institute. The book includes some black and white photos

Betty speaks her mind, but can't quite reveal her heart, and has never really accepted the fact that her son is gay."Hodgman reveals the challenges of Betty's life and his own struggle for self-respect... The result is both an indelible portrait of a family and an exquisitely told tale of a prodigal son's return."Good Condition. Spine is uncreased.

From the introduction, regarding Bingham: "Here was a challenging person, a contradiction that almost defied description. Yes, he was an artist but he was, also a fighter. He could trowel on the charming drawing room conversation but he could toss off typical Mike Fink language too." "He was a soldier and a statesman, a burning patriot, a clever phrase maker and rhetorician, a solid family man and an avid student of the Bible." Images of Bingham's art are in good condition, but are black and white. Good condition. Cover is uncoated card stock with brown text and image. Some soiling. Wrinkles on spine.
