Rent 1912: Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft and Debs--The Election that Changed the Country

Synopsis

Historian James Chace sees the election of 1912 as a decisive moment in American history, one that rivalled in importance the debates at the time of the founding fathers. Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, and Eugene V. Debs--never before or after had voters such a choice. The four candidates represented different points of view about business and reform in America, as well as the role America would play on the world stage. Chace portrays the drama among the four, as well as the personal and political connections that preceded and followed the historic election, which Woodrow Wilson won. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.
