Why read it?
1 author picked The Madman in the White House as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A detailed analysis of the mental state of Woodrow Wilson at the end of the First World War and his failure to get the Peace Treaty accepted by the Senate, which also brings Freud and a detective story into the mix.
