Arthur S. Link, currently engaged in collecting and publishing the
Wilson papers, here edits a profile concerned with the search for
Wilson's personality. He feels that Ray Stannard Baker in his
official biography to a large degree imposed his own personality
profile on Wilson, painted him "too good to be true - or human." To
counter the aspect of the prim intellectual, these pieces, from
Georgia boyhood, as a student at the University of Virginia, as a
young teacher at Wesleyan (particularly engaging), as Princeton
professor and President, New Jersey Governor and President of the
United States, from people who knew him when - friends, students,
colleagues, historians, his physician. Wilson emerges as a genuine
human being, whose personal charm was as characteristic as his
idealism. Wilson's contributions are also considered. A winning
profile. (Kirkus Reviews)
Professor Arthur S. Link, Director and Editor of The Papers of
Woodrow Wilson, brings his considerable expertise and understanding
of Wilson the man and the diplomat to this reexamination of
Wilson's handling of foreign affairs. Link explores the ideas,
assumptions, and ambitions that guided Wilson's methods of forming
policy, and his diplomatic techniques. The author also goes on to
consider some of the larger questions concerning Wilson's desire
for neutrality, American entry into World War I, and Wilson's fight
for American membership in the League of Nations.
