The Real Colonel House is a biography written by Arthur D. Howden Smith about Edward Mandell House, a prominent political figure in the United States during the early 20th century. House was a confidant and advisor to President Woodrow Wilson, and played a key role in shaping American foreign policy during World War I. The book provides a detailed account of House’s life, from his early years in Texas to his rise to power in Washington, D.C. Smith explores House’s relationships with other political figures of the time, including Wilson, and offers insights into House’s personal life and motivations. The Real Colonel House also delves into House’s controversial views on international relations, including his belief in the need for a League of Nations and his advocacy for American involvement in World War I. Overall, The Real Colonel House is a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of the most influential figures in American politics during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
