A century after his inauguration, President
Woodrow Wilson remains among the most influential figures of the 20th century—and one of the most enigmatic. Now, after more than a decade of research and writing,
A. Scott Berg discusses his definitive biography
Wilson, which looks not only at this leader’s public life but also his private passions.
Berg is a winner of both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize.
This presentation is part of the
Hail to the Chiefs series on the American Presidency co-presented by the
Kansas City Public Library and the
Truman Library Institute. The series is made possible by
Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Legacy Fund grants. The series is co-sponsored by
KCUR’s
Up to Date.
