This book was never read, purchased as a collectible by the collector of fine bindings.] No previous biography of Woodrow Wilson has so successfully melded together the private and public sides of the President. The flowing narrative details the transformation of fragile, dyslexic Tommy Wilson into Woodrow, an inspiring political-science professor, an influential president of Princeton University, a reform governor of New Jersey, and an idealistic twenty-eighth President of the United States (1913-1921). A fascinating, historical biography in full leather binding. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
