Leonard Kriegel examines Wilson’s principal nonfiction works in depth: Axel’s Castle, which he finds a classic in its own right; To the Finland Station, which he holds to be Wilson’s finest work; and The American Jitters, Travels in Two Democracies, The Triple Thinkers, Patriotic Gore, The Wound and the Bow, and Europe Without Baedecker, with which, taken to­gether, Mr. Kriegel feels, Wilson has assured himself a permanent position in America’s cultural legacy because of his unparalleled fusion of’ intelli­gence and lucidity.
