From Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times–bestselling
author A. Scott Berg comes the definitive—and
revelatory—biography of one of the great American figures of
modern times. 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 28th 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 scholar-President who ushered the country through
its first great world war to the man of intense passion and
turbulence , 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, the result is an intimate
portrait written with a particularly contemporary point of
view – 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.
