The Georges's argument is that Wilson's relationship with his hyper-critical, perfectionist father created latent anxieties in Wilson about his own self-worth and intellectual abilities. The need to be morally and intellectually superior, and constantly in control of his environment, was the result of this insecurity. Admittedly hypothetical, this explanation has the benefit of identifying a source for Wilson's utter irrationality in allowing Henry Cabbot Lodge to maneuver him into a defeat of his beloved League of Nations in the U. S. Senate. Appealing to an inner and subconscious logic, the Georges restored consistency to Wilson's behavior. The question remains whether restoring consistency is the historian's goal. ( )
