Review

"It's hard not to read this utterly likable...book without feeling a tad nostalgic for the days when American automobiles set the gold standard, gas cost 27 cents a gallon, and the best restaurant in town might be found at the airport....At times, you feel as though you've wandered into an episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE."

Publisher's note

From Missouri to New York and back again, this recounting of an amazing journey chronicles the road trip of a former president and his wife and their amusing, failed attempts to keep a low profile. Diners, bellhops, and cabbies shouted out "Hiya, Harry " whenever they recognized the former president, and, out for his daily constitutional on the streets of New York, Harry even stumbled into the sidewalk shot of the newly launched "Today" show. Along the way there are brief detours into relevant topics, such as the postwar American auto industry, McCarthyism, the development of the nation's highway system, and the decline of Main Street America. By the end of the 2,500-mile journey, readers will have a new and heartfelt appreciation for America's last citizen-president.

5 out of 5 stars All American...just like President Truman, August 23, 2009
By Tom
Have to admit, President Truman is one person from history I would like to spend and hour with, but I have read some bad books about him. This is not one of them. This is a fun, fast read, that once again left me not only admiring him as a President but a person who I would want to be my best friend. Ive would reccommend it highly
