Book Description

"Here is a work on Truman that puts a clearer light on his optimism and his belief in human potential than other biographies. This volume is not only good reading - it provides insights into a dimension of the American character that Harry Truman deeply believed in. Frank Kelly, perhaps more than anyone else, was in a position to appreciate this and to help articulate it."

-- Hugh Downs, ABC News Commentator

"The qualities of Harry Truman, so well illuminated in this personal story by a co-worker and speech writer, should serve as models for all leaders of nations - honesty, humility, fervent attachment to truth, belief in a national and world mission, public service, love for justice and the most humble people."

-- Robert Muller, former Assistant Secretary-General to the United Nations

"This is a moving and well-written account of the author's personal dealings with Harry Truman. Anyone interested in the president and post-World War II America will find this memoir extremely valuable."

-- Thomas C. Reeves, author of A Question of Character: A Life of John F. Kennedy
