House or plain Mr. House, as he prefers to be called of Texas, is one of the most remarkable characters in American history. He stands forth commandingly, in a period of political turmoil and evolution, which has produced such contrasting figures as Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilhelm H. of Germany, David Lloyd George, Raymond Poincare, and General Ludendorff. Five years ago he was unknown to the public of this country. To-day his name has become a household word throughout the world. After President Wilson himself, no man in public life exerts so dominant an influence upon international affairs as this slim, quiet gentleman, who holds no office, who represents no special interest, who has no selfish ends to serve.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the life, career, and enigmatic character of E.M House, the advisor and 'shadow' to President Woodrow Wilson in the early 20th century. Despite holding no official position, House exerted significant influence on global politics during his time. The text explores House's 'mysterious' nature, his influential role, shrewd judgment, and political foresight. Through rare interviews and insights, it sheds light on House's dedication to public service, his remarkable ability to anticipate world events, and his unwavering support for the President. The author argues that House's life and insights offer a model for effective leadership and help us understand the complex interplay of power and influence in political systems.
