Description
Confronts what is considered the biggest issue of Truman historiography: the historical significance of Harry S. Truman's presidency. Exploring the subject from the point of view of Truman's Farewell Address of January 15, 1953, the book describes the preparation of the address itself and the negative view of his presidency that prevailed.
