At 2:51 "My job is not to defend him nor excuse him, merely try to explain him." This should be the mindset of every historian and journalist.

Just saw this lecture on Wilson recorded at The Filson Historical Society (on KET) and I was very impressed. I learned a lot about Wilson and I have to say that Wilson was a FASCINATING president. Very knowledgeable AND entertaining (I enjoyed Berg's humor 😊). I was REALLY shocked to know that Wilson created the process of learning that all colleges use today. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏿😊.

"When the Cheering Stopped" was the second Wilson book I read. It is marvelous.

bull feathers! his biography on charles lindbergh missed several mistresses [2 were sisters] and illegitimate children. they lived in europe; he would visit the children and their mothers several times over a period from 1952 - 1974. the children waited until after anne lindbergh died in 2001 to tell the world about their famous father 'lucky lindy'.

Eva Staitz Yes, it is a terrible oversight on Mr. Berg's scholarship. I believe his work can continue to be appreciated while keeping that fact in the minds of the readers.

I never recovered from his oft-tedious Perkins biography. Pass.

This guy is a total Revisionist. Read "When The Cheering Stopped." You'll get it. And more than Berg. Sorry, but its true.

Didn't want to keep the black man down? Wilson gave us Hugo Black on the Supreme Court and the Federal reserve. You make the call.😒

Disappointing biography that I wanted to like or at least respect. Perhaps the most worshipful biography written about a President ever, including the various works of Theodore H. White. The more Mr. Berg assures us of Wilson’s genius and his “man of the times” perspective on race, the less credibility this book deserves - to the point that it is often unreadable. Too bad because history deserves better than this apologia.
