Woodrow Wilson is severely disabled from the effects of his massive stroke of October 2, 1919, and is unable to deal with a nationwide coal strike and a crisis with Mexico.

Begins with Woodrow Wilson facing domestic and international problems nearly as complex and urgent as those he had faced in Paris a month before. His main task is to assure the Senate's approval of the Treaty of Versailles, but his abilities are severely compromised by what was almost certainly a "small" stroke on July 19.
Beginning with Wilson's tour of Belgium, this title then moves to the last days of the peace conference.
