HARRY S. TRUMAN: A JOURNEY TO INDEPENDENCE

Harry S. Truman led a simple life until his political career began. This down-to-earth "man of the people" ultimately became the most powerful political leader in the world. The all-star cast of narrators achieves a tasteful and diversified audio performance. Lauren Bacall's rich vocal tonality and insightful interpretation add color and depth to the extraordinary events of Truman's life. Landau, Lemmon and Peck stylize the storytelling with a "gentlemen's" interpretation, correctly portraying Truman as upstanding and decent. President Clinton's introduction is taken from a public presentation and concentrates on the contributions made by Truman and his family. B.J.P. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 96]
