“Woodrow Wilson And the Great Betrayal” is Wilson booster Thomas A. Bailey’s in-depth examination of the struggle for ratification of the Versailles Peace Treaty. It covers the political elements as Democrats and Republicans vied for credit for obtaining or preventing ratification. The author proposes that the Treaty could have been ratified with reservations had Wilson shown some flexibility. Readers follow Wilson on his tour for the Treaty, his physical breakdown and life in retirement.
This is a one-issue book focusing on Wilson and his failure to obtain approval of the Peace Treaty and American entry into the League of Nations. I recommend not as a Wilson biography but for those who want a detailed examination of the fight over the Treaty. Originally published in 1945, this book is dated in style and viewpoint. I recommend that it be read in conjunction with other works about Wilson and the battle over the Versailles Treaty.
