This 84 year old book is well worth reading. It was written at the end of the period in which WIlson was adulated. The author, who was a leading pro-Kaiser publicist during WWI began by hating Wilson, but by the time he took to writing the book, he saw the deep sincerity and thoughtfulness of that President and respected him, if he did not like him. The high-point of the book are his discussions with Colonel House, a man whom Wilson once designated as his "alter-ego." The importance of this book to modern readers is that will counter the current campaign to blame Wilson for what is happening to the dollar and the Federal Reserve. In addition, it is well written; earlier in the century, Viereck was a popular poet, discovered and for a while befriended by Theodore Roosevelt.
