The Strangest Friendship in History : Woodrow Wilson and Colonel House

I propose to tell the true story of the Wilson Administration, curiously entwined with the story of the friendship between Woodrow Wilson and Edward Mandell House—the strangest friendship in history. In writing this book I have had the unconscious collaboration of Woodrow Wilson. His constant intimate letters to Colonel House have been opened to me, and I have found in them a key to his character. Colonel House, Woodrow Wilson's other self, has answered numberless questions and elucidated for me some unsolved mysteries of the Wilson Administration. Other distinguished contemporaries have also guided my sometimes faltering footsteps. Emperor William and Colonel House read and revised my account of their momentous interview which almost stopped the World War.
