The author draws on a wide range of primary sources, including personal letters, official documents, and contemporary accounts, to provide a nuanced and detailed portrait of this important historical figure.Overall, Leonard Wood: Administrator, Soldier And Citizen is a compelling and informative biography that sheds light on the life and legacy of one of America's most influential military and political leaders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
