Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a well-documented and eye-opening examination of a forgotten (suppressed?) period in presidential politics and American history. Scholarly, but not pedantic, it peels the onion-layers off of Wilson's political ideology, exposes its Hegelian historicist roots, and cogently supports Jonah Goldberg's claim that "it has happened here." Fascism, that is. Moreover, by demonstrating that Wilson's thorough-going racism, disdain for the constitution and the principles it was based on, were firmly anchored in (Hegelian) progressivism, it makes one wonder why anyone would willingly claim the title of "progressive" today. Have a pen handy for underlining passages, find a comfortable chair, and enjoy the ride!
