Winner of the 2009 Honor Book given by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities. Winner of the 2009 Richard P. McCormick Prize, given by the New Jersey Historical Commission. Maynard provides us with a fascinating account of our 28th President's life from his time as a student, through his tenure as Princeton University's President, and up until the day he died. A superb biography. -Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley Woodrow Wilson's complex personality shaped his tumultuous tenure as president of Princeton, which propelled him into politics. The radiating consequences of America's only professor-president still shape American politics and policy. Hence the high value of Barksdale Maynard's mind-opening study of Wilson's formative experiences in academia. - George F. Will This poignant biography of the man who coined the phrase 'Princeton in the nation's service' shows how much Woodrow Wilson's experiences at Princeton as a student, professor, and president foreshadowed and molded his tragic career as a national and world leader. -James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom Maynard provides an absorbing account of crucial events in the life of an important American political leader. His book is a significant addition to the literature on Wilson. -Lewis Gould, University of Texas A fast-paced, well-conceived, and well-written biographical treatment of Wilson. -James Axtell, College of William and Mary
