About
"Longtime Chicago journalist Steve Neal has edited twenty of these remarkable interviews for HST: Memories of the Truman Years." "Candid and insightful, the recollections include those of statesmen Dean Acheson and Averell Harriman, soldiers Omar Bradley and Lucius Clay; Truman's best friend Thomas Evans; associates Clark Clifford and Matt Connelly; 1948 Republican vice-presidential nominee Earl Warren; artist Thomas Hart Benton; West German leader Konrad Adnauer; former New Dealers Sam Rosenman and James Rowe; journalist Richard L. Strout; and many others." "An honest portrait of Truman emerges from the firsthand accounts of those who knew him best. HST: Memories of the Truman Years spans Truman's rise to the presidency and his responses of the challenges of World War II, the Soviet blockade of Berlin the rebuilding of postwar Europe, the 1948 campaign, his controversial firing of General Douglas MacArthur, and his courageous leadership on civil rights."--Jacket.
