Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the 33rd president of the United States from 1945 to 1953, succeeding upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt after serving as Vice President for just 82 days before Roosevelt died. He implemented the Marshall Plan to rebuild the economy of Western Europe, and established the Truman Doctrine and NATO. In these invaluable accounts, President Truman provides extraordinary insight into events and decisions that shaped the world of his day and beyond. The momentous year, 1945, witnessed the accession of a new President in wartime, the first use of atomic weponry, the end of the war with Japan and the founding of the 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! Rare Signed copy. ; Years of Decisions &Year of Trial and Hope 1946-1952; Vol. 1&2; 8.70 X 5.90 X 3.60 inches; Signed by Author .

Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art

The pages are yellowed and tanned. There are also markings throughout the book. "The roots of this book reach back to the early 1950s in Paris, where I began my professional career as a journalist. France, supported by the United States, was then fighting to retain its hold in Indochina against the Vietminh, the Communist-led nationalist movement there. As I reported on the French end of the war, I soon became acquainted with the names and places in Vietnam from a distance, But I scarcely imagined that they were to be part of my own experience. Then, in 1959, I was assigned to cover eastern Asia; the region that included Vietnam became my beat for more than two decades. I visited Vietnam most recently in 1981 for seven weeks, the longest permitted an American correspondent since the Communists gained control of the entire…
