Reviews
[An] assiduously researched biography. . . . The chapters chronicling the Silent Sentinels are difficult to read without sadness., Woodrow Wilson was a man of contradictions. Christopher Cox lays them bare in this unflinching biography. An essential read for anyone who wants to know if we should honor Wilson or shun him--or simply wants to understand him better., This is exciting and inviting history--scholarly, yes, but accessible and riveting. It's an important part of the Wilson story we've yet to see, putting the fight for women's rights alongside World War I as the great event of the Wilson era. Two thousand books have been written about Woodrow Wilson--even more in foreign languages--but none explores his fervent opposition to women's suffrage like this book. The tale Cox tells, fortified by extraordinary photographs, will become a staple in filling out the Wilson story. It is the history of a signal success for Congress, where ingrained prejudice is overcome by the popular demand to embrace women as equal participants in our democratic experiment., Christopher Cox has written a powerful reappraisal of the 28th U.S. president that reaches devastating conclusions., "Woodrow Wilson was a man of contradictions. Christopher Cox lays them bare in this unflinching biography. An essential read for anyone who wants to know if we should honor Wilson or shun him--or simply wants to understand him better." --Beverly Gage, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century, Of all Wilson biographies, this is the first to supply the cultural and historical backdrop necessary to fully understand the 28th president. We discover an age populated by many more enlightened figures than we imagined, and a president who too often fell far short of their ideals. With unsurpassed knowledge of American legislative procedure, Cox illuminates a mystery--why Wilson failed to win Congress's support for the Versailles Treaty--while his thorough research brilliantly captures the unexpected greatness of Wilson's foes in the fight for women's suffrage. In sum, a tour de force that assembles all the missing pieces in the Wilson story to complete the biography of a man America twice elected president but is only just coming to understand., A persuasive counterweight to laudatory Woodrow Wilson biographies of the past. Highly readable, compendious, eloquent.

Synopsis
A timely reassessment of Woodrow Wilson and his role in the long national struggle for racial equality and women's voting rights. More than a century after he dominated American politics, Woodrow Wilson still fascinates. With panoramic sweep, Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn reassesses his life and his role in the movements for racial equality and women's suffrage. The Wilson that emerges is a man superbly unsuited to the moment when he ascended to the presidency in 1912, as the struggle for women's voting rights in America reached the tipping point. The first southern Democrat to occupy the White House since the Civil War era brought with him to Washington like-minded men who quickly set to work segregating the federal government. Wilson's own sympathy for Jim Crow and states' rights animated his years-long hostility to the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which promised universal suffrage backed by federal enforcement. Women demonstrating for voting rights found themselves demonized in government propaganda, beaten and starved while illegally imprisoned, and even confined to the insane asylum. When, in the twilight of his second term, two-thirds of Congress stood on the threshold of passing the Anthony Amendment, Wilson abruptly switched his position. But in sympathy with like-minded southern Democrats, he acquiesced in a "race rider" that would protect Jim Crow. The heroes responsible for the eventual success of the unadulterated Anthony Amendment are brought to life by Christopher Cox, an author steeped in the ways of Washington and political power. This is a brilliant, carefully researched work that puts you at the center of one of the greatest advances in the history of American democracy.
