This absorbing biography brings to life one of the most enigmatic figures in American history—Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America. The author traces Davis's turbulent career as West Point graduate, officer in the Mexican War, plantation owner, member of Congress, Confederate Senator, and successor to John C. Calhoun. He asks a number of critical questions. What were the political con-sequences of Davis's indomitable will and quick temper? What of Davis's relationship with the women in his Sarah Knox Taylor, who died three months after their marriage, and his second wife, Varina Howell, a forceful woman with a will that matched her husband's? How did the great forces of the time—from the violent nationalism in the American West to the anxiety of English millionaires dependent on Southern cotton—influence the outcome of the Civil War? A clean very presentable copy.…

CSA. american civil war. military history. ~ Burke Davis brings the color, vivid characterization, and immediacy of the best fiction to this fascinating biography of Stonewall Jackson. He was one of the most brilliant and enigmatic figures not only of the Civil War, but of all military history as well. From the remarkable Valley Campaign through the Seven Days, Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and the masterful, though tragic, sweep at Chancellorsville where Jackson was felled by his own soldiers, this is a compelling narrative of men and war. Through diligent research over several years, Burke Davis uncovered previously unknown facts about Stonewall, and is able to correct many misapprehensions~though he glosses over none of the faults and eccentricities that gave Jackson the unique personality that rose so well to the challenge of the Civil War. In this volume are also found other memorable personalities, character portraits of the men in Blue and Gray who spring to life fully realized. Stonewall Jackson's story is full of the challenging facts of human history. Here was a military genius at once peculiar and perfect, a fearless soldier in battle but a Godfearing man who hesitated to kill on Sunday. He broke the rules of war to win, and yet his tactics are studied in military academies the world over. In They Called Him Stonewall Burke Davis brings both the Civil War and one of its most famous generals to life, showing this dramatic period of American history in full detail, as well as the life of one of the country's most brilliant military strategists. …

Captain Snow wrote his vivid accounts while the events of the war were still fresh in his memory. As in any partisan account, Lee and His Generals is biased toward the sentiments and beliefs of the author. However, though Captain Snow's heart was with the Confederacy, he presents a balanced view of the Civil War and the Southern generals who, without reservation, deserve credit for their military brilliance. They pitted their skills against Union generals with greater resources~more men, more food, more ammunition~and managed a great many audacious and daring victories before their final defeat. Captain Snow also illuminates the terrible conflict felt by the Southern generals, many of whom were West Point graduates and had served in the war with Mexico with their northern counterparts. To turn against their former comrades was a bitter struggle for both the Northern and the Southern generals. Lee and His Generals is a passionate and personal account of a fascinating group of military personalities. From the capture of John Brown at Harper's Ferry to Lee's surrender at Appomattox, this account is not only well informed but entertaining.…
