The Wit \u0026 Wisdom of Harry Truman Reviews

  • Jeff Ure

    Highly recommend reading this. There are so many amazing quotes and stories that can really make you think and learn. I wish our current politicians could act more like Harry.

  • Vincent Lombardo

    There is a lot of wisdom in this book, but reading this book is like eating popcorn: it is good to snack on popcorn once a day, but not all day long. This is a book that you pick up and read for a few minutes now and then, but not straight through.

    America is such as blessed country because of this person. He is such a witty and his wisdom is valuable.

  • Steve Hemkens

    So I have more than an idle curiousity about fellow natives of the Show Me state, so when I was in a bookstore in Seoul looking for something else to tear through, for $7 I couldn't pass it up.

    I am ashamed I knew so little about such an honest, insightful and truly great American. I had no idea of his character, intelligence, and undying reverence for both the democratic principles that make America grate and the hardworking people he served...

    If I were to ever take up the cross of public life, it would be with Harry Truman as one of the models.

    I loved this collection of stories, quotes, etc. I didn't know a lot about Truman beforehand so reading this has gotten me interested in reading more about him.
