Wilson (book)
''Wilson'' is a 2013 biography of Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author A. Scott Berg. The book is a ''New York Times'' Best Seller. Background When asked why he spent the last thirteen years writing a biography of Wilson, Berg replied: "The simple answer is that he was the architect of much of the last century and re-drew the map of the world." There were also personal reasons. Berg was given a copy of Gene Smith's ''When the Cheering Stopped: The Last Years of Woodrow Wilson'' when he was in the 11th grade, and his "budding obsession" has grown ever since. At 15, he put a picture of Wilson on his bedroom wall, a campaign poster given to him by his brother, Jeff. The author had four heroes when he was in high school: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Adlai Stevenson, Woodrow Wilson, and Don Quixote. The fact that the first three went to Princeton helped induce Berg to enroll. Berg spent his college years at Princeton, the college W ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Edith And Woodrow
''Edith and Woodrow: The Wilson White House'' is a 2001 book by Phyllis Lee Levin, published by Scribner. It documents Edith Bolling Wilson's de facto rule during the portion of the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson after the man had suffered a stroke in 1919. She did this by blockading the media from covering the effects of the stroke, so the public did not know that Wilson had been incapacitated. The state of affairs lasted for the rest of Wilson's presidency. Edith Wilson made political decisions and then falsely stated that they originated from Woodrow Wilson. Edwin M. Yoder Jr. of Washington and Lee University wrote that the author's reception of Edith was "severe"; the author argued that Ellen Axson Wilson would not have made the same choices. Background The author previously worked as a journalist for ''The New York Times''. The research material included medical documents that, in previous eras, were not accessible. Among them were documents written by Woodrow Wilson's doc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Macdonald was the leading figure in the subsequent discussions and conferences, which resulted in the Brit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
