Written in the early 20th century, the book compiles Wilson's communications to Congress, where he articulates the rationale for going to war against Germany and emphasizes the importance of democratic values, rights of humanity, and international cooperation for lasting peace. In this collection, Wilson expresses his deep concerns regarding Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, which jeopardized American lives and commerce, compelling him to seek a declaration of war. He outlines the necessity of the U.S. entering the conflict not merely to defend its interests but to advocate for global principles of democracy, justice, and human rights. Throughout his messages, Wilson calls for collective action and emphasizes the importance of establishing a framework for peace post-war, highlighting the role the U.S. must play in ensuring that future conflicts are resolved through cooperation rather than aggression. The book encapsulates Wilson's vision of a world united for peace, emphasizing that the U.S. has a duty to uphold and defend these ideals in the face of authoritarian threats.
