The period spanned by this volume was in many ways one of the most crucial of Wilsons career After the New Jersey legislature adjourned in late April Wilson set out upon a speaking tour that carried him through the Middle West up the West Coast back into the Middle West and then into the South This tour was the trial run of the preconvention campaign and strongly favorable public reaction encouraged Wilson to think seriously about seeking the democratic nomination Wilsons speeches on this first great nation tour are printed in full or are represented by extensive news reports They show the rapid development of Wilsons political thought and his emergence as a great progressive leader of his day Returning to New Jersey in early June of 1911 Wilson addressed himself to important local problems in speeches a number of which are included here This volume also provides major speeches given during the last half of the year when Wilsons candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination became increasingly promising The incoming letters amply illustrate public recognition of the new leader and Wilsons personal letters describe his family life and his reactions to political events and personalities

The opening of this volume finds the Big Four in the midst of the gravest crisis of the peace conference set off by the British cabinets demand for drastic softening of the terms of the peace treaty to be concluded with Germany In response to a wave of appeasement sweeping through the British Isles Lloyd George says that he cannot and will not sign the peace treaty unless his colleagues agree to negotiate sympathetically with the Germans on their reparations obligations their early admission to the League of Nations and other matters For the entire period covered by this volume the atmosphere of the Council of Four is supercharged by bitter debates and recriminations Wilson and Clemenceau try to hold to the terms of the preliminary treaty As the bitterness of the debates in the Council of Four grows in intensity Wilson weakened by a small stroke just before the eruption of the crisis gradually loses the will and strength to oppose Lloyd George Throughout Wilson tries to play the role of peacemaker between Lloyd George and Clemenceau but ends by capitulating to Lloyd Georges demands The result is that the final peace treaty taking shape constitutes the first step in the appeasement of Germany
