Eiland III, Murray L.
Woodrow Wilson

Architect of World War II.

This volume demonstrates the manner in which the American President's idealism proved the crucial factor in the decision to enter World War I. The author argues that this event resulted in a particularly unequal peace that prompted bitter resentment from the defeated Germans. From this perspective, the rabid nationalism of Hitler, or an equally extreme reaction, emerged as a predictable response. World War II thus continued the former conflict, having been made virtually inevitable by Wilson's decision to involve America in a conflict in which its national interests were not threatened.
