From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, "a brilliant biography"* of the 28th president of the United States.
*Doris Kearns Goodwin

One hundred years after his inauguration, Woodrow Wilson still stands as one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, and one of the most enigmatic. And now, after more than a decade of research and writing, Pulitzer Prize–winning author A. Scott Berg has completed Wilson—the most personal and penetrating biography ever written about the twenty-eighth President.

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of documents in the Wilson Archives, Berg was the first biographer to gain access to two recently discovered caches of papers belonging to those close to Wilson. From this material, Berg was able to add countless details—even several unknown events—that fill in missing pieces of Wilson’s character, and cast new light on his entire life.

From the visionary Princeton professor who constructed a model for higher education in America to the architect of the ill-fated League of Nations, from the devout Commander in Chief who ushered the country through its first great World War to the widower of intense passion and turbulence who wooed a second wife with hundreds of astonishing love letters, from the idealist determined to make the world “safe for democracy” to the stroke-crippled leader whose incapacity—and the subterfuges around it—were among the century’s greatest secrets, from the trailblazer whose ideas paved the way for the New Deal and the Progressive administrations that followed to the politician whose partisan battles with his opponents left him a broken man, and ultimately, a tragic figure—this is a book at once magisterial and deeply emotional about the whole of Wilson’s life, accomplishments, and failings. This is not just Wilson the icon—but Wilson the man.

A lesson in Courage. Over the last year, BLM and followers of the woke culture have slandered and even removed Wilson’s statues and have slandered his name. I was curious to learn about this man who has now been labeled a racist. What I learned is that Wilson was a man with great strength, who also was a devoted husband and father. He was human and a product of the south. I do not believe him to be a racist after reading this book.

21st Century Seeker

Wilson. We learn mostly of the good he accomplished but almost nothing of his attack on the civil liberties of blacks and women or his re-segregation of the Government. The new biography by Christopher Cox out later this year addresses those overlooked facts.

Too Long But Worthwhile. Berg gets bogged down in too much detail and unnecessary minutiae but I learned a great deal about Wilson and you learn to admire the man and appreciate his accomplishments and ideals. For the true history buff only due to the length of the book...EAF

CRStyo

A model one volume biography. A model one volume biography of a progressive who could work with Congress and get things done. Berg reminds us of why Wilson was great and still matters.
