From Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times–bestselling author A. Scott Berg comes the definitiveβand revelatoryβbiography 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 Wilsonβthe 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 detailsβeven several unknown eventsβthat fill in missing pieces of Wilsonβs 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 βsafe for democracyβ to the stroke-crippled leader whose incapacity and the subterfuges around it were among the centuryβs 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 Wilsonβs life, accomplishments, and failings. This is not just Wilson the icon – but Wilson the man.
