Ce que les critiques en disent

"A rich and thoughtful portrait of a transformative, controversial and resonant president.” (Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author)
“Cooper’s monumental new biography seeks to revive Wilson for the 21st century—not simply to narrate a presidential life, but to explain why he deserves our national esteem….An admiring and engaging work of presidential revisionism…. A powerful, deeply researched and highly readable case for keeping Wilson in the top ranks of American presidents.” ( New York Times Book Review)

This book is a detailed history of the political activities of Wilson but it provides little insight into the man and his close relationships. The loss of his wife during his first term as president was a cataclysmic event, yet it gets 1 sentence. Edward House, his closest advisor throughout his presidency, is portrayed as a devious self interested manipulator but there is almost nothing about their close personal relationship, which again robs the reader of any insight into the man. I’m not sure I’ll make it to the end as it is simply a sequence of the various political events in his life. There is so Minch more that is interesting about this man
