Descripción de contraportada

"The book would be terrific for a graduate seminar, for the topics covered promote discussion and debate." -- Journal of American History

"All of the essays are the product of solid research and offer the sort of compelling insights that make this a book students of Confederate political and military history will enjoy and find valuable." -- Blue & Gray Magazine

"[This] volume challenges and rewards the reader as much as many heavier tomes." -- Civil War Book Review

In his masterpiece, Jefferson Davis, American, William J. Cooper, Jr., crafted a sweeping biography and established himself as the foremost scholar on the intriguing Confederate president. Cooper narrows his focus considerably in Jefferson Davis and the Civil War Era, training his expert eye specifically on Davis's participation in and influence on the American Civil War. Nine self-contained essays address the way in which Davis reacted to and dealt with a variety of issues that were key to the war, illuminating his role during those turbulent years. This volume offers rare insight into one of American history's most complicated and provocative figures.

William J. Cooper, Jr., is the author or coauthor of six books. The recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, he has won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography and the Jefferson Davis Award, among other honors.
