The second in G.K. Hall's series of presidential encyclopedias, and successor to Franklin D. Roosevelt, His Life and Times: An Encyclopedic View ( LJ 5/1/85), this contain some 320 alphabetical articles. One third of them are topical (``Containment,'' ``Public Opinion Polling''); one third biographical (``Douglas MacArthur,'' ``Alben W. Barkley''); and the remainder are split between geographical topics (``Latin America,'' ``Turkey'') and biographical articles focusing on Truman himself (``Reading,'' ``Ancestry''). Articles vary in length from several paragraphs to several pages, all with a brief bibliography. The entries are expertly written by scholars who give differing historiographical interpretations each their due. A useful item in both public and academic libraries.-- Robert F. Nardini, N. Chichester, N.H.Book Details
