The next to last honest president we've had. How he got to be that way, and why we were so lucky. This was the man who refused to commercialize the post he had held so well, saying "The Presidency is not for sale."

I believe the book was listed as "new" but it's not. I appears to have been read and the spine (not external but the inner portion - support) is not in good shape. It may have to do with the size and bulk of the book but the condition is certainly less than new.

This is a wonderful book. It gets you on the first page and never lets go. It covers Truman's life before he was born until his death. I have never read a more complete story. Truman was a great president and if you think not just read this book.
