From our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. Jessica matthews is here. She is president of the Carnegie Endowment for international peace, a Global Think Tank headquartered in washington. The Obama Administration Foreign Policy is in the spotlight right now. Some have criticized it as feckless and is engaged. Typically, criticism of our Foreign Policy has been directed at the failure to use military force. And the question that i would have is, why is everyone is so eager to use military force . For some reason, many who are proponents of what i consider to be a disastrous decision to go into iraq havent really learned the lesson of the last decade. Why . I dont know.

And it is a new biography of Woodrow Wilson and, actually, a very favorable and thoughtful volume. Scott berg took 13 years of meticulous scholarship to write this book, and it shows. Its one of the most thoughtful, balanced biographies of this very complex figure and progressive figure in American History who had his own contradictions.

And i absolutely recommend it. One of the best biographies ive read in a long time. Another book is by a professor at the university of virginia and a former neighbor of mine, a wonderful sc
