The authors reveal with devastating clarity how deeply disturbed a man Wilson was and how his inner conflicts altered the lives of all of us. Some years after the Peace Conference of 1919, Mr. Bullitt planned to write a chapter about Wilson in a book devoted to the Treaty of Versailles. When he mentioned this to Freud, who had been his friend for some time, Freud eagerly suggested that they collaborate on that chapter. Mr. Bullitt was astonished. “A study of Wilson by him,” he said, “might possess the permanent interest of an analysis of Plato by Aristotle. Every educated man would wish to read it. To bury Freud on Wilson in a chapter of my book would be to produce an impossible monstrosity; the part would be greater than the whole.” The two men quickly agreed that they should collaborate on a full-length book about Wilson. They began work at once, reading all essential material, and a final draft was prepared in 1932. Since the authors disagreed over certain passages in the manuscript, the work was put away for a time. Mr. Bullitt returned to America to participate in Franklin Roosevelt’s campaign of 1933. In 1939 he and Freud again met in London, where Freud had settled, and they were then able to agree on a final text. They also agreed that the work should not be published in Mrs. Wilson’s lifetime. Now, at last, the book is available. It plumbs the mind and heart of the man who tried “to make the world safe for democracy” — and who failed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome tears on the dust jacket.

He was born and brought up in the American state of Missouri and, because of his father's death, he left school to earn his living when he was only twelve. He was a great adventurer and traveled around America as a printer; prospected for gold and set off for South America to earn his fortune. He returned to become a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River, close to where he had grown up. The Civil War put an end to steam-boating and Clemens briefly joined the Confederate army - although the rest of his family were Unionists! He had already tried his hand at newspaper reporting and now became a successful journalist. He started to use the alias Mark Twain during the Civil War and it was under this pen name that he became a famous travel writer. He took the name from his steam-boat days - it was the river pilots' cry to let their men know that the water was two fathoms deep.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMark Twain was always nostalgic about his childhood and in 1876 \u003cem\u003eThe Adventures of Tom Sawyer\u003c\/em\u003e was published, based on his own experiences.

Many others, like Buddhists and Hindus, sought enlightenment — and access to God — within. Such explorations raised questions: Was the resurrection to be understood symbolically and not literally? Was God to be envisioned only in masculine form, or feminine as well? Was martyrdom a necessary — or worthy — expression of faith?
