In this volume, Daniels tells how Wilson, having fought against war with monumental patience, finally led this country into world conflict. He proved himself a militant fighter and strategist, and when victory came he believed that it had made possible a warless world. Wilson's fight for the League of Nations is vigorously told, as is the deep damnation of its defeat.

With easy informality the author sets down his thoughts on education, art, and life in the war-torn world of 1943. Each chapter is complete in itself, but all are built on a central theme. The essence of the theme is that our training and our ideals have become mechanical and sterile, that the simple and perennial values of life are in danger of being forgotten.

The author has used a score of first-rate novels, several dozen good yarns, and several hundred samples from the nation's sub-literature to demonstrate the uses of the historical novel and to reveal the changing meaning of the Civil War to the American public. The result is an important contribution to the history of ideas in the United States.
