This well-informed, intimate look at 29 women whose lives were intertwined with those who lead and have led this country presents forthright interviews with Lady Bird Johnson, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Reagan, and others, while warmly recalling Pat Nixon and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Ms. Truman's legendary frankness is present but so, too, is a generosity of spirit. Photos throughout.From the Hardcover edition.

Don't look for objectivity here!
But if you enjoy hearing stories
about American Presidents and
their lives, especially from a
decidedly opinionated source,
you will love this book. Get
Margaret Truman's take on
recent White House wives including
Pat Nixon and Jackie Kennedy as
well as less well known but equally
fascinating figures such as Julia
Tyler and Lou Hoover. Recommended.
