Cold and unsmiling, idealistic but stubborn – these have been the popular images of Woodrow Wilson. In truth, he was a politician of considerable ability, an eloquent speaker, and a man capable of great warmth. This 1993 interview with Arthur S. Link, as he was concluding the 69th and final volume of the Wilson Papers after 35 years, reveals a fuller and more vivid picture of the president, and the compelling tale of Link's dogged perseverance, the joy of discovery, and marvelous luck.

From Booklist:
Readers interested in historians as well as history will particularly enjoy this 1993 conversation between journalist Carroll and preeminent Wilson scholar Link (now deceased). Link devoted more than three decades to Wilson: Carroll interviewed him as Link was putting the final editorial touches on the 69th volume of Wilson's papers! In six chapters, Link and Carroll discuss the mammoth Wilson Papers Project and its impact on later presidential scholars; Link's discoveries in the course of the project; and his conclusions about Wilson's strengths and weaknesses and attitudes and effectiveness, particularly his campaign for a lasting peace after World War I. Link's studies and the papers he edited fleshed out our understanding of Wilson; the simplistic notion of the former New Jersey governor as a prissy, narrow-minded aristocrat lost creditability as Link made Wilson's limericks and love letters accessible to readers. Carroll closes the book with a brief assessment of Link's career, a chronology of Wilson's life, an annotated bibliography, and source notes on the illustrations that enliven this brief volume.
