Well-written and gives a great view of the time period and events. At times it seemed a bit more a biography of Harry S. Truman, but still insightful into both Harry and Bess. Also, very interesting viewing American history from an "insiders" view during WWII.

Bess W Truman is more than a rare, intimate, and surprising portrait of a famous First Lady who kept her deepest feelings-and considerable influence on President Truman-hidden from public view. It is also a heartwarming story of an enduring love and a remarkable political partnership.
