Sommario/riassunto |
|
Woodrow Wilson is one of the most significant figures of twentieth century history. This profile, which is based upon the recently-completed publication of the Wilson Papers, presents a fresh view of his career. It provides an integrated interpretation of his academic career as a political scientist and university president, his style as a domestic politician and his conduct of foreign policy - topics that have generally been treated separately and very differently. J.A. Thompson presents an alternative, more rounded and ultimately more positive portrait of this major President, showing him as a very able and pragmatic politician. |
