Summary "Woodrow Wilson and the World War" by Charles Seymour is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the pivotal role of President Woodrow Wilson during World War I, examining his leadership traits, policy decisions, and the impact of his ideals on America's involvement in the global conflict. It provides a deep dive into the complexities of Wilson's character and political philosophy, particularly in relation to his evolving views on foreign intervention and the pursuit of peace. The opening of the narrative introduces Woodrow Wilson as a president unaware of the monumental role he would soon occupy on the world stage. It details his academic background, political aspirations, and rise to the presidency, highlighting how factors such as his Presbyterian upbringing, professorial demeanor, and early experiences shaped his leadership style. The text emphasizes Wilson's domestic achievements prior to the war, as well as the early perceptions of his presidency that largely underestimated the significance of his future actions in international politics. It sets the stage for an exploration of how his initial stances on neutrality and moral diplomacy would shift as the war progressed and the pressures of global dynamics challenged his vision of American exceptionalism.
