Critics Review
“A splendid read…. The accompanying text is clear, interpretive, and well worth reading in its own right. Readers will also find more than a few surprises such as the discovery of an exchange between Truman and his senior advisors on the possibility that the planned invasion of Japan could cost up to 1,000,000 American lives.” - Robert James Maddox, author of Weapons for Victory: The Hiroshima Decision 50 Years Later“Dear Harry taps into the Truman era in a way no other book has. It is a grand collection, lively, full of surprise, insight, humor, and humanity. In all, a very welcome event.” –David McCullough, author of Truman
