Truman in Cartoon & Caricature (Paperback, New ed)

This collection of 263 cartoons portrays the life and times of Harry S. Truman during his years in local and state offices, the US Senate, and as the 33rd US President. It shows a multifaceted Truman that reveals his courage, tenacity, impulsiveness, frustration, stubbornness, petulance -- and above all, his humanity. Truman recognised the 'powerful influence on public opinion' of political cartoons. He appreciated this form of free speech and collected cartoons of more than 150 artists of the period. A rare collection, these cartoons inform, entertain, and provide a prism to view Truman and his presidency.
