A president of Princeton University  he ran successfully for the New Jersey governorship. Two years later Wilson was in the White House. His domestic accomplishments were followed by his achievement as war leader in the first of this centurys general conflicts. He defined the terms on which World War I ended  and as a spokesman for humankind received unprecedented adulation. Then the public mood darkened. Wilsons errors of judgment  abetted by failing health  collapsed his hopes for a liberal peace. Yet today  with the revival of collective security and international law as valid concepts  Wilsons prophetic ideals acquire fresh significance.  Based on the full corpus of the Wilson papers and letters  much of the material available for the first time  this biography incorporates the most recent historical scholarship; at the same time  it searches with the eye of an artist into Wilsons private life. Far from being \"cold \" he was imaginative and sensitive  especially in his rich and complex relationships with women. Here  too  are sharply etched portraits of the scholars  politicians  statesmen  and world leaders among whom Wilson moved. Combining intimate biography with enthralling history  Woodrow Wilson creates an image of a man larger than life and yet singularly human  fallible  and now thoroughly comprehensible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651701563445,"sku":"ByrdShop_0945707266","price":471.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780945707264.jpg?v=1781837567","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/woodrow-wilson-a-biography-signature-series-9780945707264","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
