It considers the war as representing the collapse of Western traditional virtues and examines Wilson's attempt to restore them. Emphasizing the American war effort on the domestic front, it also discusses Wilson's rise to power, his education, career, and work as governor as necessary steps in his formation. The authors deal honestly and critically with the controversial racism that characterized this brilliant but limited career. Wilson provided many precedents for future war presidents from FDR to Trump. Those who are interested in the development of the war powers over the last century will find essential lessons in Wilson's tenure as commander in chief."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Wilson, Woodrow, $d 1856-1924. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1913-1921. 650 0 $a Political leadership $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1913-1921. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Diplomatic history. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Biography. 700 1 $a Flagg, Cheryl A., $d 1947- $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015653.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200204023225.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D01220D0471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
