About this audiobook
Woodrow Wilson: Idealist in a Time of War traces the life of the 28th President of the United States from his Southern Presbyterian upbringing through his rise as a scholar, university president, and progressive governor to his transformative White House years. The biography examines Wilson’s landmark domestic reforms—including the Federal Reserve System, the modern income tax, and antitrust legislation—alongside the contradictions of his racial policies and the moral certainty that defined his character. It follows his reluctant entry into World War I, his visionary Fourteen Points and League of Nations, the triumph and tragedy of the Paris Peace Conference, and the devastating stroke that left him incapacitated while the Senate rejected his treaty. Drawing on the central paradox of his career, the book presents Wilson as both the architect of lasting progressive institutions and a rigid idealist whose failures in race, civil liberties, and compromise continue to shape debates about American power and purpose.
