The Presidency of Woodrow Wilson (American Presidency Series)
Like the earlier volumes of this highly useful series, the Wilson volume summarizes recent scholarship in an integrated and readable fashion. The principal events and issues of the Wilson administration and the way Wilson and his appointees handled each is analyzed and assessed. Clements is sympathetic toward Wilson's goals, but incisive on the counterproductive impact of many of his methods and personality traits. This is a study of an administration, not a biography, and libraries owning recent biographies (e.g., August Heckscher's Woodrow Wilson, LJ 9/15/91) will still want this excellent volume for patrons interested in serious exploration of political and administrative history.-Nancy C.
