A. Scott Berg
In the tradition of Truman, John Adams, and Team of Rivals, the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning biographer of Charles Lindbergh, Maxwell Perkins, and Samuel Goldwyn sheds new light on a president and his presidency in a way that redefines our understanding of a tide-turning historical moment.
A hundred years after his inauguration, Woodrow Wilson still stands as one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, and one of the most enigmatic. And now, after more than a decade of research and writing, Pulitzer Prize-winning author A. Scott Berg has completed Wilson - the most personal and penetrating biography ever written about the 28th President.
In addition to the hundreds of thousands of documents in the Wilson Archives, Berg was the first biographer to gain access to two recently discovered caches of papers belonging to those close to Wilson. From this material, Berg was able to add countless details - even several unknown events - that fill in missing pieces of Wilson's character and cast new light on his entire life.
From the scholar-President who ushered the country through its first great world war to the man of intense passion and turbulence, from the idealist determined to make the world "safe for democracy" to the stroke-crippled leader whose incapacity and the subterfuges around it were among the century's greatest secrets, the result is an intimate portrait written with a particularly contemporary point of view - a book at once magisterial and deeply emotional about the whole of Wilson's life, accomplishments, and failings. This is not just Wilson the icon - but Wilson the man.

What did you love best about Wilson?
I learned so much about Wilson as a man and president. It was such a great story and helped frame that period of time in US history. It was well-written and edited (something I notice more when I listen to a book than when I read one).Have you listened to any of Jeremy Bobb’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first book narrated by Bobb.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Wilson--Man and PresidentWonderful story of an amazing president

Would you consider the audio edition of Wilson to be better than the print version?
I did no read the bookWhat other book might you compare Wilson to and why?
Truman life. He is a fighter.What about Jeremy Bobb’s performance did you like?
He keeps the rythm.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I do not see a film with this book. It is too intellectual (this is not a critic but a part of Wilson life). Theodore Roosevelt life for example could make a good film.Any additional comments?
The reading is good and the character is well define. However some evangelical parts could be cut. We already understand he is from a religious family.Keep the interest most of the time
