About this Item

First printing. Hardcover. 131 pp. BOLDLY INSCRIBED ON THE HALF TITLE PAGE "To Betty _____ with/kind regards/ 5/25/62 Harry Truman". Collection of lectures given by Truman at Columbia University from April 27-29, 1959; invited to speak to the students at Columbia, these are transcripts of what he told them about the Presidency, the Constitution, and demagoguery. The New York Times called the book "more poignant and human.than Truman's official memoirs" (thanks to Bauman Rare Books for the research). The book was evidently signed for the Betty ___ to whom it was inscribed and then given to her as a Christmas gift from her father as there is an ownership inscription on the front free endpaper, "To Betty, with love / From Daddy, Christmas, 1963". The book is fine in the original dust jacket with minimal waer to the extremities and fading to the spine lettering. Seller Inventory # E29444
