Harry S Truman: Hey Harry, Can We Talk?

By Marla Jean Selvidge Ph.D.

Getting to know the history of our Presidents can be a daunting journey. Thousands of books and movies have been produced about them. Hey Harry, Can we Talk? makes it a lot easier to get to know President Harry S Truman. Through the use of questions he comes to life and the reader begins to see a dedicated servant of the people.

This book explores his claim to poverty and Christian beliefs. What did he think about females and minorities? Did he use street language and was he a thug? Were music and books important to him? Why did he marry Bess? Was he a judge? Did he enjoy traveling or was he a home-body? How did he become President? Did he love sports? Why did he drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan? How did he feel about making that decision? Did Truman create the CIA? Why did he create a program to determine the allegiance of every employee in the government?

Did Harry help other countries after WWII? Was he a soldier in WWI? Did he survive an assassination attempt? Did he know about the illegal activities that were happening in the White House? Did he live in the White House during his two terms in office?

Did Harry love children? How sick was Harry during his political career? Was he a great writer? Did Harry read and write books? Could Harry play the piano?
