Memoirs of Harry S. Truman — Two volumes — Both signed by Truman
"In the remarkable first volume, Year of Decisions, President Truman provides extraordinary insight into events and decisions that have shaped the world in which we live. The momentous year, 1945, witnessed the accession of a new president in wartime, the first use of atomic weaponry, the end of the war with Japan and the founding of United Nations. Engaging and informal, Truman's Memoirs display the sterling character of a man who, thrust into a job he neither sought nor wanted, proved to be one of the ablest men ever to hold the office of the presidency.
"The former Chief Executive begins the second volume of his memoirs, Years of Trial and Hope, with his graphic and trenchant description of the presidency. Not since the early days of our country has a President written a more detailed account of life in the nation's most important job—a job which has come to be one of the most important in the world as well. In this volume, Mr. Truman departs from the chronological method he used in the first volume and presents the major problems of his administration in separate chapters, discussing them in depth. This is a completely fascinating history, as seen from the highest level."
