| Summary |
"Woodrow Wilson: Essential Writings & Speeches of the Scholar-President collects Wilson's most formative work, from early essays on religion to his famous "Fourteen Points" speech, which introduced the idea of the League of Nations. Among the last of the presidents to write his own speeches, Wilson left behind works which offer impressive insights into his mind and his age."--Jacket. |
