From back cover: "One April 27, 1806, during his second term as president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson confided to his friend Elizabeth Trist, 'I am preparing an occasional retreat in Bedford.'

From the Preface: "There is nothing new in Tom's Boy Harry. All of the facts contained in this book have been published before. But this is the first time, as far as can be learned, that the facts and stories have been presented in one continuous and connected story. Most of the incidents related in this book when taken by themselves seem unconnected with the Pendergast machine or Mr. Truman. But when all the incidents and happenings are compiled in their chronological order, the whole pattern is seen."

From the back cover: "The life of Harry S. Truman is one of the greatest of American stories, filled with vivid characters - Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bess Wallace Truman, George Marshall, Joe McCarthy, and Dean Acheson - and dramatic events. In this riveting biography...not only captures the man...but also the turbulent times in which he rose, boldly, to meet unprecedented challenges. The last president to serve as a living link between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries, Truman's story spans the raw world of the Missouri frontier, World War I, the powerful Pendergast machine of Kansas City, the legendary Whistle-Stop Campaign of 1948, and the decisions to drop the atomic bomb, confront Stalin at Potsdam, send troops to Korea, and fire General MacArthur....McCullough tells the deeply moving story of the seemingly ordinary "man from Missouri" who was perhaps the most courageous president in our history."Very Good condition.
