A collection of never-before-published writings by Harry S. Truman, in which he lays out his theory of leadership and voices his opinions about various leaders throughout history. Two 8-page black-and-white inserts.
Between them, Senator Cale Caldwell and his blue-blooded wife controlled as much power on Capitol Hill as the law would allow. Sadly, it wasn't sufficient to protect him from a killer, even surrounded by his friends at a champagne reception in his honor. The senator's murder wasn't the family's first brush with violence. Only two years ago, a niece had been murdered, her killer never found. But when attorney Lydia James, counsel to a senate committee investigating the tragedy, suggests there might be a connection between the two deaths, she's voted down fast. Yet strange rumors persist. The senator's death could benefit many people, among them a bitter political adversary, an ambitious talk show host, and a master of spin who makes even murder look good. . . .
Ambassador Geoffrey James might be a British citizen, but when he dies on the night of a gala party, it's up to Captain Sal Morizio of Washington's Metropolitan Police Department to investigate. Despite orders to desist, Morizio and his lady love, fellow officer Connie Lake, know too much. And what they learn on an international search for missing clues tells them a lot about corruption in high places—and the effects of caviar on otherwise rational people. . . .
This is the astonishing story of Bess W. Truman and her love for her husband, Harry, as only their daughter could tell it. Bess W. Truman is more than a rare, intimate, and surprising portrait of a famous First Lady, it is also the heartwarming story of an enduing love and a remarkable political partnership. Margaret Truman has been able to draw on her own personal reminiscences and a treasure trove of 1,000 letters from Bess and several hundred from Harry, never before published. For the first time, Margaret Truman reveals the strong role her mother played in harry Truman's important political decisions -- during his ascent to the Senate, the Vice-Presidency, and to the White House itself. And we see history from the inside out as the lives of Harry and Bess evoke the great events of the Truman era: dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the stunning upset of Thomas Dewey, the firing of Douglas MacArthur at the height of the Korean War, the vicious McCarthy hearings, and more. Bess W. Truman recreates the human drama of an extraordinary woman and a man who became a beloved American president.
