"The Moralist is a brilliant and vital biography of Woodrow Wilson.
With surgical precision she analyzes Wilson's intellectual
greatness, military cunning, and evangelical fervor aimed at
promoting global democracy after World War I. Every chapter
crackles with first-rate scholarship."--Douglas Brinkley, author of
Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of
America
"The Moralist comes at a ripe moment, now that the harsh
revisionism of recent years has cast a dark light on Wilson's
legacy. . . . Grim and often gripping, The Moralist goes a long way
in explaining the America we're awakening to."-- "USA Today"
