Prophets True and False is a compelling collection of political portraits and character studies authored by the distinguished journalist Oswald Garrison Villard. In this work, Villard applies his keen editorial eye to the leading figures of American public life during the early decades of the twentieth century. Through a series of incisive essays, he examines the personalities, motivations, and legacies of influential men such as Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Alfred E. Smith, and Robert M. La Follette.

Villard, known for his principled stance as the long-time editor of The Nation, goes beyond mere biography to offer a critical assessment of statesmanship and public service. He distinguishes between those who served as true guides for the nation and those whose leadership fell short of their promises. The book serves as a vibrant historical record of the American political landscape during a period of significant social and economic transition.
