1.TrumanTruman
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $14.96

Customer Review:
The book itself was a winner - a gift for my husband. He "devoured" it. The only disappointment was how cheaply and poorly-bound the paperback was. Even with extreme care, it fell apart within the first 70 pages. The replacement nearly made it to the end, but not quite. Buy and read this book, but... more info

3.Plain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry S. TrumanPlain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry S. Truman
from Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers

Customer Review:
This book grew out of a proposed documentary film, and only later was it transcribed as a biography. It's not a particularly in-depth look at Truman, or the history of his presidency, but it adds a good bit of detail- much like David McCullugh's shallow but fascinating Truman bio. Plain Speaking is... more info

4.Where the Buck Stops: The Personal and Private Writings of Harry S. TrumanWhere the Buck Stops: The Personal and Private Writings of Harry S. Truman
from Grand Central Publishing
Price: $19.99

Customer Review:
This book is worth reading only if you've already learned quite a lot of history. In many instances Truman embellishes or distorts historical facts, and on certain points he is embarrassingly wrong. It's a wonder that the editor of the book, his daughter Margaret (who majored in history in college)... more info

Customer Review:
Very infomative. Too short, but about the right amount of depth. Showed some of his political shaping.

from University of Missouri Press
Price: $28.60

Customer Review:
This very personal look at young Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) should be of interest to history buffs and fans of our 33rd President. The book is primarily a collection of letters that Truman sent to his girlfriend (and later wife) Bess Wallace (Truman), the letters being found in her home shortly... more info

from Simon & Schuster

Customer Review:
Hunter does a good job covering a relatively unknown historical event. The writing style (constantly bouncing around) was tiresome after awhile.
In addition to learning the details and characters behind this assasination attempt, the reader gains some insight into revolutionary movements, the... more info

from Picador

Customer Review:
Pros - Brings 1948 Michigan to colorful life. In terms of "historical fiction", it succeeds in painting a nice backdrop.
Cons - Horribly boring first fifty pages or so, I almost stopped reading. I think the author even knew that, as he threw in random Pres. Ford references and other more... more info

I bought this as a gift for an elderly friend, who had once had a copy that had become lost. She loves it, and says it is her all-time favorite book.
