Synopsis
This is a narrative study of British diplomatic perceptions of Woodrow Wilson during his presidential campaign and presidency. Using archival material not previously explored for this purpose, George Conyne is able to challenge the conventional view of British reactions to Wilson and American policy at the Paris Peace Conference. He casts fresh light on the sources and the consequences of their image of the president of the United States.
