Reddit reviews The World Remade: America in World War I

I'm reading The World Remade: America in World War I right now, and one of the things that opponents of the League of Nations worried about was loss over immigration control. Well, looking at the UN and all of these refugee treaties we signed, that turned out to be 100% correct.

When I read this book, The World Remade: America in World War I, I learned that there was a period of over a month where the President was essentially an invalid and unable to govern. Nobody really knows who (if anyone) was running the executive branch of the government at the time. The accepted theory is that it was his wife, but nobody knows 100% because everyone with knowledge of it took the secret to the grave. This was also during one of the most important times in American History when we were deciding whether or not to join the League of Nations. Crazy stuff with huge implications.
