"With this book Wiley-Blackwell add a notable figure to their growing library of presidential studies." (Reference Reviews, 1 June 2014)"A Companion to Woodrow Wilson shows how much can be learned from a conscientious bibliographic review. It is an impressive book that—through its best chapters—could teach valuable lessons to historians of many topics in addition to those studying Wilson." (Journal of American History, 1 March 2014)
