“With this suspenseful and highly readable study of Wilson as a war president, one of America’s subtlest thinkers about presidential leadership forces us to reconsider Wilson’s sterling reputation.”

“Woodrow Wilson and World War I should be required reading for our political leaders.  Striner has written not only an incisive critique of Wilson’s wartime leadership but also a primer on how presidents must plan for the unthinkable at every turn and be ready to respond.”
