Davis and Lee at War
Steven E Woodworth. Davis and Lee shared a mutual respect for each other,
but it was respect mixed with resistance to the other's influence. The
result of this tense tug-of-war was Davis' misguided pursuit of a middle
ground that gave neither Lee's offensive strategy nor Davis' defensive
strategy its best chance for success. At war's end, Davis was as
indecisive as ever and virtually blind to how little confidence his
generals had in his leadership. 440 pgs., 20 B&W illustrations, 6"x 9",
hdbd.

Jefferson Davis
Confederate President. Hattaway & Beringer. Rich in detail and
exhilaratingly told with generous selections from Davis' own letters and
speeches, this book provides the most insightful account available of the
Confederate presidency - suggesting that perhaps it was the Confederate
government, rather than Davis himself, that failed. More than that, it
shows us Davis as an American leader and offers a new appreciation of his
place in our country's history. 576 pgs., 40 B&W photos, 6¼"x 9¼", hdbd

speeches to select those that best tell the story of his life and provide
insight to his character in this invaluable volume." - James M. McPherson,

a grand scale, the most comprehensive treatment of Davis and his times yet
to appear." - Los Angeles Times. 842 pgs., 5"x 8", sfbd.
