Most famous in Europe for his efforts to establish the League of Nations under US leadership at the end of World War I, Woodrow Wilson stands as one of America's most influential and visionary presidents. Seen by both admirers and critics as an idealist and a heroic martyr to the cause of internationalism, John Thompson takes a different view.
Woodrow Wilson is one of the most significant figures of twentieth century history. This profile, which is based upon the recently-completed publication of the Wilson Papers, presents a fresh view of his career. It provides an integrated interpretation of his academic career as a political scientist and university president, his style as a domestic politician and his conduct of foreign policy - topics that have generally been treated separately and very differently. J.A. Thompson presents an alternative, more rounded and ultimately more positive portrait of this major President, showing him as a very able and pragmatic politician.
