Ferrell was an intelligence analyst in the U.S. Air Force in Washington, D.C., during the Korean War. This book contains the private papers of Harry S. Truman, in and out of the White House, beginning in 1945 and ending in November 1971, when only a few months of life remained and the retired president's days had become so constricted that he ran out of things to write about. The Truman diary is frank, rambunctious, full of life, but no less full of a sense of duty at least equal to that of HST's nineteenth-century predecessors.

A small neatly scripted vintage August 1983 gift inscription on the half title page. "In 1890 Harry Truman met Bess Wallace in Sunday school and, as he said years later, knew she would be his life's love. This chance meeting led to one of the most durable marriages of our century - and a flood of correspondenc. Bess kept most of Harry's letters in various nooks and crannies of the house in Independence, Missouri. They wrote to each other almost daily, beginning with their early courtship when Harry was a farmr near Grandview, through hs army experience in World War I, his years in Missouri politics, and his terms as United States Senator and, eventually, President of the United States. As documents of life in a bygone era, the letters are captivating. They form a narrative relating almost five decades of events that touched not only Truman's personal life, but also, on a broader scale, the nation that he loved. It is all seen through the yes of an uncomplicated man who couldn't bring himself to use politics as others did for personal gain, who profoundly wanted the world to benefit from his labors, and who tried, throughout his life, to be a man his "Dear Bess" would respect. In these letters we see the familiar Truman writing about his life as it unfolded - the man with a "give 'em hell" temper and puckish charm. We se the adoring and protective father; the common man who worried about money, cars, getting too little sleep, and visiting a dentist. But we also see a side he kept hidden - the man who moved between self-confidence and self doubt, the man who always needed to share his fears and joys with the woman he loved." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
