Summary: excellent, gripping, comprehensive
Comment: Jefferson Davis remains a dark, remote Civil War figure, hardly as romantic as Lincoln or as inspiring as Lee.
What William C. Davis has done is to make both the man and the forces that gave him fire and light more immediate and tangible.
Weaving through the myriad controversies and struggles of the pre-Civil War, Civil War and post war years, the author somehow manages to explain endless geographical, political and societal issues without ever losing sight of Davis' central role in them.
A dense but vastly entertaining book that even readers who are not interested in the Civil War would find fascinating.
Rating: 5
Summary: Fascinating version of Jeff Davis and the Confederacy.
Comment: Really enjoyed listening to this book, especially the themes in which Jeff Davis' strengths and flaws were carry on throughout his entire adult life. The last few tapes are outstanding on how the confederacy got reduced to a well guarded 3 mile wagon train.
Rating: 5
Summary: superb work by a master historical author.
Comment: William C. Davis has written THE biography of Jefferson Davis. The book not only reads as easily as a novel, it also has been meticulously researched. Keep your eye on this Davis. He is fast becoming one of America's best popular historian.
