A beautifully preserved two-volume first edition memoir set by President Harry S. Truman, including Year of Decisions (1955) and Years of Trial and Hope (1956), both retaining their original dust jackets and period wraparound promotional bands.
These volumes capture a remarkable moment in American political history — written close to the events themselves and produced with the restrained graphic sensibility of mid-century publishing. The clean typography, patriotic striping, and stark black cloth bindings give the set an unmistakably intellectual postwar presence that feels equally at home in a library, office, or collected Americana interior.
The interiors remain richly toned with age, while the jackets retain strong visual impact despite expected wear. An especially compelling set for collectors of presidential history, mid-century Americana, or thoughtfully styled library decor.
Includes:
* Year of Decisions (Volume One), Doubleday, 1955
* Years of Trial and Hope (Volume Two), Doubleday, 1956
Original dust jackets and promotional paper bands included.
