Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 5-8-This easy-to-read volume details Wilson's life, his presidency, and the illness that plagued him at the end of his term. Schraff also covers his childhood as the son of a clergyman, his education, and his political beginnings as the governor of New Jersey. Readers will not only learn about our 28th president, but they will also come away with a clear picture of the early 20th century here and around the world. Wilson's initial opposition to U.S. entry into World War I and his involvement with the League of Nations are well documented. His illness and the secrecy that surrounded it may surprise some readers. Average-quality archival photos and reproductions appear throughout. A few Web sites, including the White House and its section on each president, are provided.-Allison Trent Bernstein, Blake Middle School, Medfield, MA
