WOODROW WILSON

This work is part of a series of short biographies of U.S. presidents written by distinguished American historians. This volume about our 28th president is written by distinguished American historian H. W. Brands. The reader, Richard Rohan, uses a strong tenor voice that sounds professorial but never pedantic. Rohan clearly communicates the highs and lows of a life filled with significant events such as war, peace, and political transformation. The work is enjoyable to the ear, although in a few spots the pace is too quick to take it all in. M.L.C. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 03/JAN 04]
