Publisher's Synopsis
Describes the personal and political partnership between Woodrow Wilson and his closest friend, Colonel Edward M. House. Demonstrates that House exerted an enormous influence on the President and his foreign policy from 1913ó1916. The author illustrates this influence by examining the intriguing House-Grey Memorandum with British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey which promised U.S. entry into World War I on the side of the Allies, a year before America was "forced" into the conflict by German military and diplomatic moves.
