Summary: A mini review of Clements' THE PRESIDENCY OF WOODROW WILSON
Comment: Clements' book is an accessible, well written, though occasionally overly detailed analysis of one of the most important presidents of the twentieth century and possibly of the entire history of the presidency. This book is an investigation of Wilson's presidency, rather than a biography. His beliefs, values and political training is quite brief. Though the information that Clements does provide is insightful and incisive. Throughout the book, its structure is clear and direct. The ending of the book suggests the depth of the author's admiration for Wilson. This admiration does not prevent Clements from seeing the flaws in his subject, but occassionally it causes him to gloss over them too easily, minimizing their seriousness. Aside from key lapses, Clements is able to evaluate Wilson fairly, despite his evident admiration for the president. Overall, the book makes for a very worthwhile reading. It's not only thorough, but lively as well. The historical context of Wilson's rise to power is carfully constucted, providing a clear sense of Wilson's debt to the Progressive movement-as wellas his ocntribution to it. More importantly, he provides a complex, compelling portrayal of a very fascinating man. To read the book is to glimpse a picture of a very flesh-and-blood president, a man who left a remarkable imprint upon the presidency and the shape of our nation as a whole.
