Cooper...has combined assiduous archival research with a command of the vast secondary literature on the Old South and Civil War to produce...a generous although not uncritical study....[This is] biography on a grand scale, the most comprehensive treatment of Davis and his times yet to appear. Although scholars will find little that is strikingly new, readers interested in the Civil War era will surely enjoy Cooper's well-written and up-to-date treatment of the South's enigmatic president.Cooper, William J., Jr. is the author of 'Jefferson Davis, American', published 2001 under ISBN 9780375725425 and ISBN 0375725423.
