Bøker av Woodrow Wilson

In 1913, Woodrow Wilson was just beginning his time as president of the United States. America's first 'professor'-president, Wilson intended to turn his philosophies into policies. As such, Wilson's two terms in office would mark a turning point, for better or for worse, in American history. And what were those philosophies? In speeches throughout his election campaign, he boldly spelled out his beliefs. "The New Freedom" is a collection of those speeches, edited at the time only to be more suited for reading in a book rather than heard by the ears. These are the words that persuaded millions of Americans to cast their votes for Wilson and his 'progressive' ideas. In this book, Wilson's attitudes towards monopolies, tariffs, and the State itself, are brought forth almost as they were first presented to ordinary citizens on the campaign trail.

A study of congressional government, written by Woodrow Wilson as a student. It covers: the need for a federal constitution; the functions of the House of Representatives; taxation and financial administration; the Senate's role in the legislative process; the electoral system; and more.

A classic of American political science, and a subtle criticism of the American founding fathers produced during the Progressive Era. Woodrow Wilson discusses the three branches of government in the USA - the state, federal and party governments - and the relationship between them.

"George Washington" is an intriguing biography of America's first president as told by the man who would later become its twenty-eighth, Woodrow Wilson. Wilson takes us on a journey from a look at Washington's times to his Virginia breeding to his life in colonial America. Wilson looks at how these factors shaped the man who would lead the nation in its fight for independence and into its first years as a new nation. This is an insightful look into our nation's early history by a man who would play a key part in it more than one hundred years later.

Contains not only the cumulative contents and index for Volumes 53 to 68 but also a retrospective essay by the editor.

Concluding with Wilson's death and the ceremonies that marked it, this last volume also deals with his partial recovery from the aftermath of his stroke of October 2, 1919, and his struggle to produce "The Document," which he intended to use as the Democratic platform in an attempt to win a third presidential term in 1924.

Opens on Christmas Eve, 1920, in the waning days of the Wilson administration. The end of the Wilson presidency evokes an outpouring of letters to Wilson and editorials in leading newspapers. As Wilson's health improves, he forms a law partnership with his former Secretary of State, Bainbridge Colby, and privately seeks political influence.

Woodrow Wilson cannot remain silent on the single great issue of the campaign - American membership in the League of Nations. Not many people heed Wilson's appeals, however, and on November 2, the voters seemingly repudiate Wilson and all he stands for in a landslide majority for Harding and Coolidge.
