Contents

This study, based on extensive research in private papers as well as published sources, offers a reinterpretation of the US Senate's refusal to ratify the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, the first of the "great debates" over the role of the United States in world politics.

Woodrow Wilson's contributions to the creation of the League of Nations as well as his failures in the Senate battles over the Versailles treaty are stressed in this account of his leadership in international affairs.
