Description
“Mr. Citizen” is a collection of magazine articles written by former President Truman. They begin with his return to Independence and his attempt to, once again, be plain old Mr. Citizen and his gradual realization that that was not possible. He continued to write about events in his retirement, his assessment of Adlai Stevenson, who he tried so hard to get into the White House, his view of history, what to do with former Presidents, and his duty to teach from his experience and other topics. Truman was an experienced politician and a well read man. His insights and suggestions are interesting and worthy of consideration. For those interested in the thought of Harry Truman, this book is a good source.
