Working with Truman: A Personal Memoir of the White House Years (GIVE 'EM HELL HARRY) by Ken Hechler (1996-04-01) - Softcover
Available for the first time in paperback is the critically acclaimed“Working with Truman”, a warm and lighthearted memoir of what it was like to work behind the scenes in the White House during Truman's term as president. Focusing on the strengths and weaknesses of those who worked closely with Truman and on the Truman not seen by the public, Hechler provides insight into one of our greatest presidents.“The 33rd President who emerges from Mr. Hechler’s pages is a loving husband and father, a mna loyal to old friends even when it led to political embarrassment, an ardent history buff, a relaxed friend when vacationing with his staff. [This book]has some interesting things to say about the firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the‘Korean incident’ and the rage of McCarthyism. Much of this has been printed before in other contexts... but politics and history buffs will find Mr. Hechler’s version warm and welcome.”—New York Times Book Review
