<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The importance of Colonel Edward M. House in twentieth-century American foreign policy is enormous: from 1913 to 1919 he served not only as intimate friend and chief political adviser to President Woodrow Wilson but also as national security adviser and senior diplomat. Yet the relationship between House and the president ended in a quarrel at the Paris peace conference of 1919--largely because of Mrs. Wilson's hostility to House--and House has received little sympathetic historical attention since. This extensively researched book reintroduces House and clearly establishes his contributions as one of the greatest American diplomats.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Colonel House, partly by his own preference, was always in the shadows. Now, at last, Godfrey Hodgson has brought him into the light with this biography.

House, Woodrow Wilson's alter ego and one of the most capable diplomats of the twentieth century. It is an elegantly told tale not simply of a single life nor the fondest of friendships but of an indispensable political partnership forged in the terrible second decade of the twentieth century, a malleable moment not unlike our own when the old world order collapsed and a new world order had yet to emerge."--Michael B. Stoff, University of Texas at Austin<BR> <P><br><br>"Hodgson introduces a twenty-first-century audience to an important figure from the Great War era, and in the process illuminates some roots of the difficulties now facing the United States and the world."--Gaddis Smith, Yale University <P> <BR><br><br>" Colonel House, partly by his own preference, was always in the shadows.
