1917: How Lenin & Woodrow Wilson Collided

U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and his wife, first lady Edith Bolling Wilson, smile in this undated photo.

In his new book 1917: Lenin, Wilson, and the Birth of the New World Disorder, Arthur Herman argues the world was never the same after 1917. It was the year where Woodrow Wilson’s entry into World War One and Lenin’s Bolshevik Revolution converged, unleashing disruptive ideologies, from nationalism and globalism to Communism and terrorism that have failed to be contained to this day.
