"With this book Wiley-Blackwell add a notable figure to their growing library of presidential studies." ( Reference Reviews , 1 June 2014) " A Companion to Woodrow Wilson shows how much can be learned from a conscientious bibliographic review. It is an impressive book that-through its best chap-ters-could teach valuable lessons to historians of many topics in addition to those studying Wilson." ( Journal of American History , 1 March 2014)
