This portrait of Jefferson reveals an experienced, talented and courageous leader who, nevertheless, undermined the Confederacy's cause in the trans-Appalachian West, where the South lost the war. |
| Synopsis: |
Jefferson Davis is a historical figure who provokes strong passions among scholars. Through the years historians have place him at both ends of the spectrum: some have portrayed him as a hero, others have judged him incompetent. In "Jefferson Davis and his Generals", Steven Woodworth aims to show that both extremes are accurate - Davis was both heroic and incompetent. Yet neither viewpoint reveals the whole truth about this complicated figure. Woodworth's portrait of Davis reveals an experienced, talented, and courageous leader who, nevertheless, undermined the Confederacy's cause in the trans-Appalachian west, where the South lost the war. |
