Concluding with Wilson's death and the ceremonies that marked it, this last volume also deals with his partial recovery from the aftermath of his stroke of October 2, 1919, and his struggle to produce "The Document," which he intended to use as the Democratic platform in an attempt to win a third presidential term in 1924.

Opens on Christmas Eve, 1920, in the waning days of the Wilson administration. The end of the Wilson presidency evokes an outpouring of letters to Wilson and editorials in leading newspapers. As Wilson's health improves, he forms a law partnership with his former Secretary of State, Bainbridge Colby, and privately seeks political influence.

Woodrow Wilson cannot remain silent on the single great issue of the campaign - American membership in the League of Nations. Not many people heed Wilson's appeals, however, and on November 2, the voters seemingly repudiate Wilson and all he stands for in a landslide majority for Harding and Coolidge.

Begins with the controversy over ratification of the Versailles Treaty as it enters its climactic stage. Wilson refuses the advice of supporters who beg him to accept Republican reservations in order to put the Treaty through the Senate, and he puts heavy pressure on those Democratic senators who want to consent to reservations.

Woodrow Wilson is severely disabled from the effects of his massive stroke of October 2, 1919, and is unable to deal with a nationwide coal strike and a crisis with Mexico. Slowly recovering, he is able to prevent Democratic senators from voting for approval of a version of the Versailles Treaty that contains reservations.

Opens with Wilson's tour of the Middle West and West to generate popular support for the League of Nations and to force the Senate to consent to the ratification of the Versailles Treaty without any significant reservations to the League Covenant. The nation's state of affairs is parlous as the volume ends.

Begins with Woodrow Wilson facing domestic and international problems nearly as complex and urgent as those he had faced in Paris a month before. His main task is to assure the Senate's approval of the Treaty of Versailles, but his abilities are severely compromised by what was almost certainly a "small" stroke on July 19.

Beginning with Wilson's tour of Belgium, this title then moves to the last days of the peace conference. A great wave of relief sweeps over council chambers in Paris when a new German government sends word that it will accept the peace treaty unconditionally: restoration of peace occurs with the signing of the treaty.
