Woodrow Wilson - Revolution, War, and Peace

Informationen zum Autor Arthur Stanley Link was an American historian and educator, known as the leading authority on U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. Klappentext Arthur S. Link, currently engaged in collecting and publishing the Wilson papers, here edits a profile concerned with the search for Wilson's personality. He feels that Ray Stannard Baker in his official biography to a large degree imposed his own personality profile on Wilson, painted him "too good to be true - or human." To counter the aspect of the prim intellectual, these pieces, from Georgia boyhood, as a student at the University of Virginia, as a young teacher at Wesleyan (particularly engaging), as Princeton professor and President, New Jersey Governor and President of the United States, from people who knew him when - friends, students, colleagues, historians, his physician. Wilson emerges as a genuine human being, whose personal charm was as characteristic as his idealism. Wilson's contributions are also considered. A winning profile. (Kirkus Reviews) Zusammenfassung Professor Arthur S. Link! Director and Editor of The Papers of Woodrow Wilson! brings his considerable expertise and understanding of Wilson the man and the diplomat to this reexamination of Wilson's handling of foreign affairs.
