Thank you for spending a valuable part of your day with us today.
This is a very nice, First Edition Copy of “Speaking Frankly” by James F. Byrnes. This copy would be a great addition to any discriminating library, even with no dust jacket included.
Speaking Frankly is 324 pages of first hand, World War II history, and is copyright 1947 by Donald S. Russell, Trustee of the James F. Byrnes Foundation and published by Harper & Brothers.
Speaking Frankly is based on the notes, and contains copious amounts of the notes taken by James Byrnes during the end stages of WW II. The adventures covered here begin with Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Yalta and Potsdam meetings in 1945 to Harry S. Truman the 21 Nation Peace Conference, Paris, October 1946. In total there are 8 meetings or conferences and the words of countless world leaders contained herein.
This copy of Speaking Frankly is in nearly perfect shape with slight bumping to the lower corners of the cover, a little wear at the top and bottom of the spine, and two small marks (scratches) on the back cover.
The only foreign marks inside is a small red stamping, inside the front cover at the bottom of the map, stating “|| 30 1971.” Where I have | is a small smudged mark in the book (see photo). Very minor yellowing to a very few pages, most are as white as the day it rolled off the press!
