Woodrow Wilson entered the White House as a scholar-president, reformer, and moral visionary. He reshaped American government, led the United States through the First World War, and tried to build a new international order through the League of Nations.

Then his body failed.

In October 1919, Wilson suffered a devastating stroke while fighting for the Treaty of Versailles. The president remained alive and formally in office, but his ability to govern was gravely weakened. Behind guarded doors, Edith Wilson, doctors, advisers, and loyal officials controlled access, softened the truth, and preserved the appearance of presidential command.
