Woodrow Wilson: A Biography by John Milton Cooper Jr. is now available for free ePub download or online reading.<\/p>\n
Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n The first major biography of America\u2019s twenty-eighth president in nearly two decades, from one of America\u2019s foremost Woodrow Wilson scholars.<\/p>\n A Democrat who reclaimed the White House after sixteen years of Republican administrations, Wilson was a transformative president\u2014he helped create the regulatory bodies and legislation that prefigured FDR\u2019s New Deal and would prove central to governance through the early twenty-first century, including the Federal Reserve system and the Clayton Antitrust Act, he guided the nation through World War I, and, although his advocacy in favor of joining the League of Nations proved unsuccessful, he nonetheless established a new way of thinking about international relations that would carry America into the United Nations era. Yet Wilson also steadfastly resisted progress for civil rights, while his attorney general launched an aggressive attack on civil liberties.<\/p>\n Even as he reminds us of the foundational scope of Wilson\u2019s domestic policy achievements, John Milton Cooper, Jr., reshapes our understanding of the man himself: his Wilson is warm and gracious\u2014not at all the dour puritan of popular imagination. As the president of Princeton, his encounters with the often rancorous battles of academe prepared him for state and national politics. Just two years after he was elected governor of New Jersey, Wilson, now a leader in the progressive movement, won the Democratic presidential nomination and went on to defeat Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft in one of the twentieth century\u2019s most memorable presidential elections. Ever the professor, Wilson relied on the strength of his intellectual convictions and the power of reason to win over the American people.<\/p>\n John Milton Cooper, Jr., gives us a vigorous, lasting record of Wilson\u2019s life and achievements. This is a long overdue, revelatory portrait of one of our most important presidents\u2014particularly resonant now, as another president seeks to change the way government relates to the people and regulates the economy..
