Truman","description":"2004 Common Reader\/Tess Press hardcover, 2nd printing. Merle Miller (Ike the Soldier). Plain Speaking is the bestselling book based on conversations between Merle Miller and the thirty-third President of the United States, Harry S. Truman. From these interviews, as well as others who knew him over the years, Miller transcribes Truman’s feisty takes on everything from his personal life, military service, and political career to the challenges he faced in taking the office during the final days of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. Using a series of taped discussions from 1962 that never aired on television, Plain Speaking takes an opportunity to deliver exactly how Mr. Truman felt about the presidency, and his thoughts in his later years on his accomplishments and the legacy he left behind. - Amazon\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1579124372\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1579124372.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Miller, Merle\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Missing dust cover, otherwise book is in good condition with some wear from normal use.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43386815742013,"sku":"BVV.1579124372.G","price":7.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1579124372-0.jpg?v=1784667714","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/plain-speaking-an-oral-biography-of-harry-s-truman","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
