Subj…ects: Wilson, Woodrow (1856-1924) --Wilson, Edith Bolling Galt (1872-1961) --Presidents --Presidents' spouses --United States --Biography. Summary: Constructing a thrilling, tightly contained narrative around a trove of previously undisclosed documents, medical diagnoses, White House memoranda, and internal documents, acclaimed journalist and historian Phyllis Lee Levin sheds new light on the central role of Edith Bolling Galt in Woodrow Wilson's administration. Shortly after Ellen Wilson's death on the eve of World War I in 1914, President Wilson was swept off his feet by Edith Bolling Galt. They were married in December 1915, and, Levin shows, Edith Wilson set out immediately to consolidate her influence on him and tried to destroy his relationships with Colonel House, his closest friend and adviser, and with Joe Tumulty, his longtime secretary. Wilson resisted these efforts, but Edith was persistent and eventually succeeded. With the quick ending of World War I following America's entry in 1918, Wilson left for the Paris Peace Conference, where he pushed for the establishment of the League of Nations. Congress, led by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, resisted the idea of an international body that would require one country to go to the defense of another and blocked ratification. Defiant, Wilson set out on a cross-country tour to convince the American people to support him. It was during the middle of this tour, in the fall of 1919, that he suffered a devastating stroke and was rushed back to Washington. Although there has always been controversy regarding Edith Wilson's role in the eighteen months remaining of Wilson's second term, it is clear now from newly released medical records that the stroke had totally incapacitated him. Citing this information and numerous specific memoranda, journals, and diaries, Levin makes a powerfully persuasive case that Mrs. Wilson all but singlehandedly ran the country during this time. Ten years in the making, Edith and Woodrow is a magnificent, dramatic, and deeply rewarding work of history. 1 Kg.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 606, [2] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Minor ink mark on fep. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads for Hank and Helen Seiden=-via dear Marjory and Mort. with warm wishes and kindest regards…from Phyllis Lee Levin, January 24, 2002. Handwritten card in envelop from Marjorie laid in. The author was Marjorie's sister. Revealing and meticulously researched, the story of Woodrow Wilson and his second wife focuses on the role she played in running the country in the wake of the president's debilitating stroke. Phyllis Lee Levin is the author of several books, including ABIGAIL ADAMS and EDITH AND WOODROW. She has been a reporter, editor and columnist for The New York Times. Derived from a Kirkus review: A carefully researched study of a well-hidden episode in American presidential history. Shortly after the death of his wife Ellen in 1914, newly elected president Woodrow Wilson met and quickly fell in love with society matron Edith Bolling Galt, described as a woman of "opulent figure and commanding air." Edith, who soon married Wilson, made for an unusually diligent First Lady, studying world events and Wilson's own voluminous writing, and familiarizing herself with the intricacies of party politics. Their pillow talk evidently touched on matters of state as much as anything more personal, as when Wilson "discussed with Edith his apprehensions about the serious effects of [William Jennings] Bryan's resignation on the country and on his administration" and the wording of his official remarks on the U-boat sinking of the Lusitania. When, midway through his second term, Wilson suffered a massive stroke, Edith was well up to the task of serving as his proxy-a role that the White House steadfastly denied, insisting that the president was merely unwell, and remained fully in control. Edith kept up her side of the ruse, but, imperious and fiercely loyal, she also managed to alienate politicians already opposed to Wilson's programs, chief among them Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Had Wilson ceded control to the vice president instead of retaining it through his wife, Levin suggests, then he might have been successful in gaining support for the League of Nations instead of enduring a disastrous political defeat. Of much interest to students of political history, and sure to excite discussion in academic circles. Ralph Alswang (Author photograph) (illustrator). Signed.
