Overview

'A fitting sequel to a fine first volume. Donovan's narrative of Truman's troubled second term--a melodrama in a dozen acts--is balanced in judgment, fast in pace, and fascinating as a cool correction to most recent commentaries both on HST in human terms and on the so-called imperial presidency.'- Richard E. Neustadt
