In a work of this length, it would be easy for the narration to become, if not tedious, at least tiring. But the combination of the author’s pacing and Jeremy Bobb’s even reading makes this biography of President Woodrow Wilson flow evenly. Bobb slightly varies his pacing periodically to add a note of drama or pathos. Although he doesn’t use special intonations for the wide array of quoted speakers, direct quotes are clearly differentiated aurally. Wilson was a tragic figure, trapped in his own idealism and prejudices. Berg’s book captures his personality effectively, and Bobb transmits it equally well to listeners.
