The Warrior and the Priest by John Milton Cooper Jr Jr
The colossal figures who shaped the politics of industrial America emerge in full scale in this comparative biography. In the depth and sophistication of intellect that they brought to politics and in the titanic conflict they waged, Roosevelt and Wilson were, like Hamilton and Jefferson before them, the political architects for an entire century.
An engrossing study… MrCooper is at ease with his subjects and at home in their period, and he puts his learning at our disposal in a clear, active, engaging style. * The New Yorker *
[Cooper’s] book displays the trained historical mind at close to its professional best. His distinctions are sharp, his insights original, his judgments balanced and his narrative unfailingly graceful. * New York Times Book Review *
[An] intellectually rich and provocative study. * New York Review of Books *
[A] superb comparative biography, [and] an important work of historical scholarship. * Publishers Weekly *
A truly great work of biographical and historical literature… Since Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were the architects of all important domestic and foreign policies of the United States in the twentieth century, this book will be read avidly by persons interested in how we came to be what we are as a nation in the 1980s. -- Arthur S. Link, Princeton University
A book that should become a classic in the field. The comparative perspective really works. The two men had enough in common, yet were sufficiently distinctive, for the comparative perspective to add significantly to our understanding of each person. -- Paul K. Conkin, Vanderbilt University
