| The Cambridge University historian John A. Thompson, in this incisive profile of Woodrow Wilson, offers an excellent short biography of his life and especially his presidency during World War I. The historical literature on Wilson and his era is extensive. Woodrow Wilson shows Thompson's mastery of this scholarship and the voluminous primary sources, including The Papers of Woodrow Wilson (1966–1994), edited by Arthur S. Link. This book provides an outstanding introduction to this most complex U.S. president, who reached his zenith as a reformer at home during the Progressive Era and abroad during World War I. |
