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

5.The Autobiography of Harry S. TrumanThe Autobiography of Harry S. Truman

Price: $13.57

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

6.A Widow, a Chihuahua, and Harry Truman: A Story of Love, Loss, and Love AgainA Widow, a Chihuahua, and Harry Truman: A Story of Love, Loss, and Love Again
from HarperOne

Customer Review:
I found myself laughing out loud on almost every page. Mary Beth Crain seems to embody the essence (and the quirks) of living through the process of being a caregiver,grieving her loss and moving across bereavement with her companion Truman. Her humor shines through, giving a light hearted overview... more info

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

10.Memoirs of Harry S. Truman: 1945 Year of DecisionsMemoirs of Harry S. Truman: 1945 Year of Decisions
from William S. Konecky Associates

Customer Review:
Not as detailed as McCullough - obviously, it doesn't cover Truman's later years and death - but if I had to have only one Truman work on my shelf it would be this two-volume set. Harry writes as plainly as he speaks; but none of his saltier language appears between these covers.
