A New York Times BestsellerA Pulitzer Prize'winning AuthorAfter more than a decade of research and writing, author A. Scott Berg has completed the most personal and penetrating biography ever written about the 28th President. In addition to the many documents in the Wilson Archives, Berg was the first biographer to gain access to two recently-discovered caches of papers belonging to those close to Wilson. From this material, Berg offers us an intimate portrait of the whole of Wilson's life, accomplishments, and failings.

One hundred years after his inauguration, Woodrow Wilson still stands as one of the most influential figures of his century, and one of the most enigmatic. From the scholar-president who ushered the country through its first great world war to the man of intense passion and turbulence, from the idealist determined to make the world "safe for democracy" to the stroke-crippled leader who incapacity was among the century's greatest secrets, this is an intimate portrait of the whole of Wilson's life, accomplishments, and failings.
