issues of this book, this is the Author's Edition bound in half brown

this manner for use by Truman to give to families and friends. This copy 
is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author to his former Secretary of the 
Treasury on the half-title page: "To Honorable John Wesley 
Snyder,/from/his good friend, comrade/and associate in most/trying 
times. He was the/greatest of the great Secretaries/of the

has highlighted a few passages with pencil. Housed in the original 
pictorial slipcase which is also INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author: 
"Honorable John W. Snyder/from/Harry Truman." This inscription and 
signature are rubbed and faded but still visible. Some rubbing to one of 
the spine labels. Near Fine in a Near Fine slipcase. (#015407)
