Antaeus.......2005-05-22
This book is the life of a teenager attending boarding school. I first bourht this book because the author (Ritchie Gillespie) was both my math and science teacher at an all boy boarding school. Reading the book, I found how I could relate to the character and how Mr. Gillespie could relate to us as students and to the character. Finding myself similar to the character, I enjoyed the book greatly.

Book Description
Best-selling historian Thomas Fleming gives a scathing new look at President Woodrow Wilson's handling--and mishandling--of "the war to end all wars."
In this sweeping historical canvas, Thomas Fleming undertakes nothing less than a drastic revision of our experience in World War I. He reveals how the British and French duped Wilson into thinking the war was as good as won, and there would be no need to send an army overseas. He describes a harried president making speech after speech proclaiming America's ideals while supporting espionage and sedition acts that sent critics to federal prisons. And he gives a harrowing account of how the Allies did their utmost to turn the American Expeditionary Force into cannon fodder on the Western Front.
Thoroughly researched and dramatically told, The Illusion of Victory offers compelling testimony to the power of a president's visionary ideals--as well as a starkly cautionary tale about the dangers of applying them in a war-maddened world.
Customer Reviews:
The whole world paid,.......2006-04-19
for the personal shortcomings of Woodrow Wilson. He was full of personal righteousness & never could acknowledged it. Thomas Fleming is an excellent & prolific historian. I disagreed vigorously with his revisionist book on FDR's administration, The New Dealer's War. Please see my review of 7-11-02 on that book. But his The Illusion of Victory, an apt title, delivers. It's an important book even for a person with an above average understanding of World War I. Wilson was vain, ill-tempered, vindictive & inflexible. Very few people even liked him. With his god-like pretensions he of course did not recognize any failings in himself. In our history we have been blessed with extraordinary leadership in times of our worst peril such as Washington, Lincoln & FDR. With Wilson we were not well served in World War I.
Let's be clear. Without the United States help Britain & France could not win the war against Germany. They didn't have the will or the resources. Russia was knocked out of the war & Germany could devote its full attention to the western front. At best they could have gotten a cease-fire. If Wilson had been the true neutral he professed The United States to be before 1917 & remained so, he would have been able to broker a peace. But he didn't want that. So the U.S. was dragged into the war. He promptly lost the peace: for the United States. His mismanagement of the peace teaty assured the United States would not emerge as the premier world power. The U.S. was the only power that could have assured world peace by the fair treatment of the German people. Instead, what was guaranteed was that Germany would seek to avenge their World War I shame as soon as they could, which turned out to be about 20 years later.
Wilson was aided by sycophants in the White House, the most important of these being his loving & devoted wife, Edith. Anyone questioning the president's vision was gone. Unfortunately, Lloyd George of Britian & George Clemenceau of France were not his toadies. Neither were Senator Henry Cabot Lodge & the Republicans. In perhaps his biggest breach of diplomacy, Wilson failed to take even one Republican to Europe with him to paticpate in, or at least observe the peace being made. That slight alone assured that whatever Wilson brought home for congressional approval would be rejected in it's orginal form. America's entry into the League of Nations was doomed.
Most egregious of all was out of Wilson's control. That was the massive stoke he suffered shortly after his second trip to Europe & more that a year before the 1920 election. He never fully recovered was not fit to govern. All contact with the world was through his his wife. Edith became the de facto president. During this cover-up she handled the presidency as she thought her husband would, a ploy that seems impossible today. The trouble was, she was more like Wilson than he was. That is she was totally inflexible. A few minor changes by Congress to the treaty to get the United States into the League of Nations might have moved Wilson just to get it past. These were not allowed by Edith in the president's name. For this the course of history was changed. How large a change we will never know. Mr. Fleming covers all this & more including another swipe at FDR as assit. Secretary of the Navy. Agree or disagree it's great stuff & a great book.
Useful Information.......2005-11-03
I've read a large number of WWI books and I was always curious why, when we finally went to war, why we mangled some of it so badly. While, unlike the author, I won't lay it all at Wilson's feet, a very large percentage of the blame does belong there.
I can't verify some of the details as other reviewers have done, but I have verified a lot of the bigger ideas communicated by Fleming and the conclusions that he reached, that Wilson was a man far beyond his depth, are pretty inescapable.
I found the book a very enjoyable and informative read and I highly recommend it. I'd suggest reading it with Doughboys to get a well-rounded picture of war time America.
Good History on Wilson, Bad History on WWI.......2005-07-23
In this book, Thomas Fleming is attempting to cast new light on Woodrow Wilson's presidency, specifically the period from the declaration of war against Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1917 through the presidential election of 1920. Fleming attempts to show that Wilson was a complete failure during this time, declaring war for the wrong reasons, bungling the peace process, allowing civil rights abuses at home, and torpedoing the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles by his stubborn refusal to compromise.
In this task, Fleming mostly succeeds. Although his writing style is over-the-top at times, he seems to have done his research well here and is able to back up his claims with specific facts and analysis. Overall, I found Fleming's main thesis to be persuasive and his writing compelling. This is an interesting but little known part of American history and Fleming's book is a useful addition to the literature on the subject.
However, when Fleming gets to writing about the causes of WWI and the conduct of the war by the various parties, he seriously misses the mark. It is clear that Fleming did not do nearly as much research in this area, and since it is not the focus of the book he confines himself to broad generalities and over-simplifications. Moreover, it looks as though his zeal to condemn Wilson has led him to condemn the British and the French, too. The reasoning appears to be, Wilson was a bad man and a worse president, and he chose to ally us with Britain and France, therefore Britain and France must be bad as well. In other words, because everything Wilson did was wrong, he must have chosen the wrong allies. This in turn causes Fleming to virtually exonerate Germany from any culpability for the war.
Other reviewers have detailed Fleming's errors and misrepresentations concerning the conduct of WWI, so I won't repeat them here. I will say that you should not rely on what Fleming says in this book about the causes of WWI or its course. There are many other books out there that do a much better job of analyzing these complex subjects. Holger Herwig's "The First World War" is told from the German side, and is quite an indictment of Germany's participation in the start of the war and how they fought in it.
In sum, read Fleming's book for the insights he provides into Wilson's presidency, and take what he says about WWI with a very large grain of salt.
Badly Needed Revisionism.......2005-01-14
Mr. Fleming has admitted that he had to abandon the prejudices of a liberal New Jersey upbringing to arrive at an objective assessment of FDR (The New Dealers' War) and Wilson. He certainly has done that. Frequently he crosses over the line of purely objective historian into political and personal commentary, but his assessments all stand scrutiny. While "Illusion" contains some factual errors (note that Fiorello LaGuardia flew in Italy, not France) none are related to the major subject and none detract from Fleming's thesis: Woodrow Wilson's hypocrisy, arrogance, and hunger for power overcame his early idealism, leading to one of the greatest failures of any American administration. Fleming's description of the scheming and lies of Edith Galt Wilson and presidential doctor, Adm. Grayson, foretold comparable lies from FDR's naval aides in WW II. Mrs. Wilson emerges as the Shrew From Hell, reminiscent of the Clinton White House but without Hillary's softer, feminine side (!)
Fleming details Wilson's failure in every major aspect: his refusal, after months of immobility, to hand over to his vice president; persistently ignoring vital domestic issues such as massive strikes and riots, a winter coal shortage, and persecution of minorities, to say nothing of the Prohibition debate. Wilson's tolerance for the continuing postwar naval blockade of Germany ("the worst atrocity of the war" says Fleming) led to thousands of deaths by starvation--this from the president who vowed to conduct "a war without hate."
Yet after all that, WW still felt he deserved a third term and declined to endorse his own son in law for the nomination.
Well done--again--Tom Fleming.
Over the Top.......2005-01-09
Right from the start, when Fleming hopelessly muddles the beginning of the war to put Germany in the best light ("The French, allied with Russia, attacked from the west," he says (p. 43). In fact, it was Germany that unleashed the Schlieffen Plan on France) it is clear this work is a dedicated piece of revisionism. While Fleming spills much ink on his theme the Germans were the victims of shadowy forces conspiring against them, and not primarily responsible for turning a diplomatic stand-off over an act of pre-emptive regicide into a world war, it is clear the true villain of the book is Woodrow Wilson.
If anything goes wrong, Wilson is to blame - not just the failure of the League of Nations, but everything from Bolshevism ("Without U.S. support, the bankrupt British and French could do little but fritter around the edges of the Russian upheaval," p. 342 - gee, I thought the problem with Wilson was he was too eager to intervene in other people`s wars), to prohibition: "If Wilson had been on the job as president instead of playing world savior he might have fought the passage of this bad legislation and immediately started rallying enough congressional votes to sustain a veto. He did neither. It was one more piece of evidence that the president had lost sight of his responsibility as leader of the American people." (p. 414-415).
In exonerating Germany Fleming seems to take positive glee at the fate of "poor little Belgium." "To an objective observer, Northcliffe and his allies in Wellington House would seem to have had a problem arousing pity for Belgium." He describes the appalling personal rule of King Leopold as "a holocaust that exceeds anything in previous, or subsequent, recorded history," and calls Belgium "about as neutral as Scotland" and "about as democratic as Germany." (p. 49-50). Setting aside for a moment Germany's unmentioned but less than stellar record of barbarity in its own Africa dominions (just ask the Herero people), and the book's pooh-poohing of German atrocities during their debauch through Belgium, the principle of state sovereignty itself cannot be allowed to stand in the way of the triumphant march of Fleming's revisionism. Everything the noble Teutons do (or don't do) is ascribed to the noblest of causes - even the failure of German propaganda is ascribed to "Naïve Germanic self-righteousness." (p. 61).
Ironically, it is clear Anglophobic Fleming draws heavily on arch imperialist Niall Ferguson (see footnote 17, p. 494) for his themes (as does fellow revisionist John Mosier in his The Myth of the Great War). He says that it wasn`t until 1918 that "The Germans, exasperated by the Allied refusal to settle for anything less than a knockout blow, were contemplating peace terms as harsh and vindictive as those the French and British imposed." (p. 480). In fact, as anyone who has read Fritz Fischer's Germany's Aims in the First World War would know, German imperial ambitions - which aimed at the effective annexation of the Low Countries and neutralization of France - were fully realized even before the end of the first year of fighting.
In his efforts to whitewash the Second Reich Fleming skips from revisionism to fantasy. "Germany's aims before the war were relatively modest," he maintains. "Basically, Berlin sought an acknowledgement that it was Europe's dominant power. It wanted an independent Poland and nationhood for the Baltic states, to keep Russia a safe distance from its eastern border. Also on the wish list was a free trade zone in which German goods could circulate without crippling tariffs in France, Italy, Scandinavia and Austria-Hungary. It is not terribly different from the role Germany plays today in the European Economic Union. But the British Tories could not tolerate such a commercial rival in 1914 and chose war." (p. 480). This paragraph includes one factual error - the Tories were in opposition in 1914 - and the rest is Niall Ferguson-inspired utterly spurious nonsense.
The real extent of Germany's imperial ambition was revealed at the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which was forced on Russia in 1918 - Fleming deems this worthy of nothing more than two paragraphs on p. 197. Meanwhile, "The ongoing British blockade would become the greatest atrocity of World War I," Fleming declares (p. 296), something the Armenians, victims of outright genocide perpetrated by Germany's "halfhearted" (p. 58) ally Turkey, might take issue with.
The book is also riddled with mistakes:
Fleming says "[Media baron Lord] Northcliffe almost single-handedly revived the British Conservative Party in the elections of 1912." (p. 48). Presumably, he means the two elections of 1910.
Contra Fleming, tanks did not make their combat debut at Cambrai in 1917 (p. 220) but on the Somme a year earlier.
Fleming describes the Prime Minister of South Africa as coveting "German West Africa, a huge colony just north of his country, now known as Zimbabwe." (p. 336). In fact, Zimbabwe used to be called Rhodesia after the very British Cecil Rhodes. Fleming has it confused with Namibia.
Fleming lists Texas as a Republican gain in the election of 1920 (p. 469); in fact it stayed in the Democratic column.
In sum, this is disappointing work from a historian whose writing (his Burr-Hamilton history Duel, for example) I have enjoyed in the past.

Outstanding Book And A must Read.......2005-06-28
The Intellectual Traditions of Pre-Colonial Africa is one if the best books written that l have read about the early history of Africa.The editor [Dr.Hilliard] undertook a history long overlooked and brought to light a remarkable ancient history of Africa.This extraordinary book gives the readers knowledge of Africa pasts as who is an African and their early development.Dr.Hilliard was able to examined Africa kingdoms and their earliest populations and religious traditions.The book also pointout one of the most tragic legacies of Africa's slave past and European colonialism of Africa continent.Dr.Hilliard also addresses the early Hausaland history,the development of the Muslim in Northern Nigeria and the proper treatment of women by the Hausa muslim.This is a very rich book about the Africans and an essential read for anyone seeking insight into the Africa unknown past.
Blows away myths about Africa.......1999-11-23
Intellectual Traditions of Pre-Colonial Africa is the most comprehensive representation of Africa's rich cultural heritage that I have seen in print. This is the Africa that white history books try to pretend doesn't exist! Dr. Hilliard completely destroys the myth of Africa as a backward, uncivilized and illiterate continent of savages. Africa has long been considered to be the cradle of civilization. With such a long history it makes sense that Africa would be full of rich oral and intellectual traditions, many of which Dr. Hilliard has addressed in her book. Its a wonder that no one has written a book like this before. Anyone with more than a passing interest in Africa's cultural heritage should read this book. It is the ultimate reference on African culture.
Ground-breaking work!.......1999-08-17
Dr. Hilliard, transcends the limitations of academia to provide viable insight into a people with stark honesty and innate wisdom. Often misrepresented and misunderstood, she avoids this trap by presenting the traditions as a representation of an intellectual system....without extraction, for the Western mind to perceive. A remarkable accomplishment, and generous gift.

Scientific Inquiry and Nature of Science: Implications for Teaching,Learning, and Teacher Education (Science & Technology Education Library)
ASIN: 0306467496 |
Book Description
"James Altschuld, David Kumar, and their chapter authors have produced an upbeat, provocative, visionary, and useful volume on educational evaluation. Of special utility is its grounding in issues and practices relating to evaluations of science and technology education. The book should appeal and be useful to a wide range of persons involved in evaluations of educational policy, programs, and (less so) science teachers. These persons include science and technology education experts, educational policymakers, officials of the National Science Foundation, school administrators, classroom teachers, evaluation instructors, evaluation methodologists, practicing evaluators, and test developers, among others. Contents reflecting international studies of curriculum, evaluation of distance education, and evaluation of technology utilization in Australian schools, as well as evaluations in America should make the book appealing to an international audience. Moreover, it provides a global perspective for assessing and strengthening educational evaluation in the US."
Daniel L. Stufflebeam, Professor of Education and Director of the
Evaluation Center, Western Michigan University
