In this riveting collection, available for the first time in
paperback, we follow Harry S. Truman and Dean Acheson, two giants
of the post-World War II period who were primarily responsible for
the Marshall Plan and NATO, among other world-shaping initiatives,
as they move from an official relationship to one of candor, humor,
and personal expression. In these letters, spanning the years from
when both were newly out of office until Acheson's death at the age
of seventy-eight, we find them sharing the often surprising and
always illuminating opinions, ideas, and feelings that the
strictures of their offices had previously kept them from
revealing.
Unbuttoned, careless of language, unburdened by political
ambition or vanity, Truman and Acheson reveal their characters and
their loyalty to each other on every page. Truman, a Missouri
farmer with the unpolished but sharp intellect of a largely
self-educated man, and Acheson, well educated, urbane, and
affluent, seem an unlikely pair. But both men shared a deep and
abiding patriotism and a taste for politics that transcended their
very different backgrounds. "Affection and Trust" is a remarkable
book that brings to light the very human side of two of the most
important statesmen of the twentieth century.
