Woodrow Wilson's Right Hand: The Life of Colonel Edward M. House - Hardcover

“Hodgson introduces a twenty-first-century audience to an important figure from the Great War era, and in the process illuminates some roots of the difficulties now facing the United States and the world.”—Gaddis Smith, Yale University
(Gaddis Smith)

“Colonel House, partly by his own preference, was always in the shadows. Now, at last, Godfrey Hodgson has brought him into the light with this biography. It does full justice to a fascinating man and one whose greatest work coincided with the emergence of the United States as a world power.”—Margaret MacMillan, author of Paris 1919: Six Months that Changed the World
 
(Margaret MacMillan)

“Godfrey Hodgson has given us a splendid and long overdue biography of Colonel Edward M. House, Woodrow Wilson’s alter ego and one of the most capable diplomats of the twentieth century. It is an elegantly told tale not simply of a single life nor the fondest of friendships but of an indispensable political partnership forged in the terrible second decade of the twentieth century, a malleable moment not unlike our own when the old world order collapsed and a new world order had yet to emerge.”—Michael B. Stoff, University of Texas at Austin
