Amazon.com Review
Harry S. Truman had opinions on just about everything, from Joseph McCarthy (whom he sarcastically referred to as "the greatest asset the Kremlin has") to the best time of the day ("early morning"). Alex Ayres has compiled a whole mess of quotes, organized alphabetically by subject, that show off Truman's candor and sass for all it's worth.
