A first edition, first printing of ‘Mr Wilson’s War’ published by Doubleday in 1962. A near fine bright book in the very good unclipped dust wrapper – signed to the front endpaper by Dos Passos without dedication.

A critical historical study of Woodrow Wilson and the United States’ entry into the First World War. Dos Passos portrays Wilson as idealistic yet naïve, arguing that his moral rhetoric masked political misjudgement. The book condemns the betrayal of democratic principles at Versailles and reflects Dos Passos’s broader disillusionment with liberal idealism, power politics, and the tragic consequences of war.
