Well-written and gives a great view of the time period and events. At times it seemed a bit more a biography of Harry S. Truman, but still insightful into both Harry and Bess. Also, very interesting viewing American history from an "insiders" view during WWII.

Wonderful book. I think Truman was one of our best presedents but knew very little about his private life until I read this book. Well written and a good read.
