Woodrow Wilson and World War I
Cód:
491_9781442277038
Woodrow Wilson is often considered one of the greatest presidents in American history because, in the first two years of his presidency, he succeeded on many fronts. However, acclaimed author and historian Richard Striner now makes the case that a presidency that is too often idealized was full of missteps and failures that profoundly affected Americas politics and people long after it ended. While other negative assessments of Wilsons leadership have been one-sided, Striners critique-though undoubtedly scathing-is judicious, nuanced, and fair. With detailed description and accessible prose, Striner sheds light on how-as soon as America entered World War I-flaws of Wilsons were exposed as the pressure on his administration mounted. This book is a story of presidential failure, a chronicle of Woodrow Wilsons miscalculations in war, and a harrowing account of the process through which an intelligent American leader fell to pieces under a burden he could not bear.
