John Milton Cooper

“Cooper’s much-anticipated biography finally gives Wilson his due. The preeminent living historian of Wilson and his era, Cooper has studied the man and his times for decades…he now presents us with his magnum opus. The book is deeply, indeed exhaustively researched, and beautifully, often movingly narrated. It is far and away the best biography of the 28th president we have, and as such it is unlikely to be surpassed.” —Boston Globe

“Probably the best, the coolest, the most objective and solid one volume it is now possible to write.”--The Historian

“This is one of those rare books rich with ideas that provide the mind with genu-inely new perceptions.”--American Heritage

“A very careful and thought-ful study, fascinating in its insight, panoramic in its sweep.”--The American
