Truman, ever loyal to his friends, stood by him throughout his ordeal. Royal blue morocco, gilt-lettered backstrip and quotation to front board. A fine copy in the original publisher's cloth slipcase which shows some very light edgewear.. First Edition. Royal Blue Simulated Morocco. Near Fine. Folio.
