- Synopsis
- "Based on interviews conducted in the early 1960s for an ill-fated television project, Plain Speaking was not published until more than a decade later, in the year after Harry Truman's death--a year in which the headlines were dominated by the tawdry dishonesties of the Watergate scandal. The memory of Truman, [Merle] Miller comments at the outset, "has never been sharper, never brighter than it is now, a time when menacing, shadowy men are everywhere among us." Certainly the thirty-second president's legacy is honored in the chapters that follow Miller's opening remark, for the book is largely composed in Truman's own words and the words of his friends." From the Forward
