From the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning author A. Scott Berg comes Wilson the result of over a decade of research and writing, it is the definitive and revelatory biography of one of the greatest and most influential American figures of the 20th century. Wilson first captured Berg’s imagination at the age of 15 and has fascinated him ever since. Berg was the first biographer to gain access to two recently-discovered caches of papers that have only recently been discovered significant collections of personal letters of both Wilson’s daughter and his personal physician. The result is an intimate portrait written with a particularly contemporary point of view a book at once magisterial and deeply emotional about the whole of Wilson’s life, accomplishments, and failings. This is not just Wilson the icon but Wilson the man. 2013 marks the 100th anniversary of Wilson’s inauguration.
