He became the leading specialist on Wilson, published a five-volume biography (to the start of the <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">First World War</a>) (out of eight originally planned), and edited all 69 volumes of Wilson's papers. Although he published numerous textbooks, Link concentrated his scholarship on the politics and diplomacy of the 1910s. </p><p>Link's first major contribution was to stress the importance of <a href="/wiki/Progressivism" title="Progressivism">Progressivism</a> in the South, a theme developed by <a href="/wiki/C._Vann_Woodward" title="C. Vann Woodward">C. Vann Woodward</a>, and the importance of the South to <a href="/wiki/Progressive_Era" title="Progressive Era">Progressive Era</a> nationally. Link saw Wilson as a southerner with a southern base, who thus broadened the scope of the politics of Progressivism. </p><p>The second was to locate the heart of Progressivism in <a href="/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt" title="Theodore Roosevelt">Theodore Roosevelt</a>'s <a href="/wiki/New_Nationalism_(Theodore_Roosevelt)" title="New Nationalism (Theodore Roosevelt)">New Nationalism</a> platform of 1912, not in Wilson's <a href="/wiki/The_New_Freedom" title="The New Freedom">New Freedom</a>. Link's point was that Wilson was a conservative until 1913, when he suddenly accepted the core values of Roosevelt's proposals to use the federal government to reform the economy. </p><p>The third was to argue that Progressivism collapsed after World War I because of internecine conflicts among reformers and uncertainties about how to pursue their agendas further. The Progressives ran out of ideas and so left the field to <a href="/wiki/Warren_G._Harding" title="Warren G. Harding">Warren G. Harding</a>. Still, Link also argued that Progressivism was stronger in the 1920s than was generally acknowledged and that its underground currents formed the heart of the <a href="/wiki/New_Deal" title="New Deal">New Deal</a> in the 1930s.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As Link delved into the manuscripts, he changed his mind but usually did not try to rewrite his books. The one exception was <i>Woodrow Wilson: Revolution, War, and Peace</i> (1979) (a revision of <i>Wilson the Diplomatist</i>). Link softened his criticism of Wilson's responses to the <a href="/wiki/Mexican_Revolution" title="Mexican Revolution">Mexican Revolution</a> and German <a href="/wiki/Submarine_warfare" title="Submarine warfare">submarine warfare</a> and also gave Wilson higher marks than before as a war leader and articulator of war aims in the <a href="/wiki/Fourteen_Points" title="Fourteen Points">Fourteen Points</a>. Link had previously stated that Wilson would have taken the same unbending stand against ratification of the <a href="/wiki/Versailles_Treaty" class="mw-redirect" title="Versailles Treaty">Versailles Treaty</a> with <a href="/wiki/Henry_Cabot_Lodge" title="Henry Cabot Lodge">Henry Cabot Lodge</a>'s reservations if he had enjoyed perfect health. </p><p>In Link's revision, he stressed Wilson's deteriorating cardiovascular condition and massive stroke. His medical deterioration made it hard for Wilson to compromise with Lodge and caused, in part, Wilson's earlier actions at the <a href="/wiki/Versailles_Peace_Conference" class="mw-redirect" title="Versailles Peace Conference">Versailles Peace Conference</a> and his dealings with the <a href="/wiki/US_Senate" class="mw-redirect" title="US Senate">US Senate</a> over the treaty. Link incorporated his new ideas in elaborate notes in his edition of the <i>Papers</i>. The book is an attempt at a refutation of <a href="/wiki/George_F._Kennan" title="George F. Kennan">George F. Kennan</a>'s <i>American Diplomacy</i> (1951).<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Link taught at <a href="/wiki/Northwestern_University" title="Northwestern University">Northwestern University</a> (1949–1960) and <a href="/wiki/Princeton_University" title="Princeton University">Princeton University</a> (1945–1949 and 1958–1992).

Princeton has sold almost 100,000 of them, an extraordinary number for this sort of work. At his desk, the same one that Wilson had used when he was president of Princeton, Professor Link wrote each of the long footnotes that explained the context of a particular letter or document, linking it to material that came before or would come later." </p><p>Link was distant from the administration and faculty but enjoyed working with undergraduates.
