From a distinguished historian of the American South comes this thoroughly human portrait

of the complex man at the center of our nation's most epic struggle.

Jefferson Davis

initially did not wish to leave the Union-as the son of a veteran of the American

Revolution and as a soldier and senator, he considered himself a patriot. William

J. Cooper shows us how Davis' initial reluctance turned into absolute commitment

to the Confederacy.

He provides a thorough account of Davis' life, both as the Confederate

President and in the years before and after the war.

Elegantly written and impeccably

researched, Jefferson Davis, American is the definitive examination of one of the

most enigmatic figures in our nation's history.
