- 1. In 'Woodrow Wilson, American Prophet' by Arthur Walworth, the author presents a compelling exploration of the life and legacy of one of America's most complex and impactful presidents. Woodrow Wilson, who served as the 28th president from 1913 to 1921, is portrayed not just as a political leader, but as a visionary thinker whose ideals about democracy, internationalism, and moral diplomacy have left a profound imprint on the fabric of American political thought. Walworth meticulously details Wilson's rise to power, his pivotal role during World War I, and his ambitious attempts to establish the League of Nations as a testament to his belief in collective security and peace.
