It's only 125 pages (which includes blank pages between chapters and a 12 page chapter that is all a biography of Henry Cabot Lodge. The information is rather skimpy, only a page discussing his governorship of New Jersey. I'm not sure who this book is for at such a short length, maybe for high schoolers, or people with short attention spans who like the word "atrabilious" (p.48). It's basically a discussion of what the author and many people think is the most important issue in Wilson's life, the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles, but I'd expect more from something claiming to be a biography of Wilson.
