Woodrow Wilson and the Lost World of the Oratorical Statesman (Presidential Rhetoric and Political Communication)

"Robert Kraig has written a splendid book that illuminates a central aspect of Woodrow Wilson's thought and politics. As Kraig makes clear, any effort to understand Wilson must come to terms with his life-long idealization of the statesman-orator. Among the many impressive aspects of this richly documented study is its convincing reinterpretation of Wilson's words and deeds during the League of Nations debate. . . . Should be required reading for historians, political scientists, and students of rhetoric alike."--Stephen E.
