About this title

Synopsis

"There are two Jefferson Davises - one is a conspirator, a rebel, a traitor... a myth evolved from the hell-smoke of war, as purely imaginary a personage as Mephistopheles; the other is a statesman with clean hands and a pure heart, who served his people faithfully"- as the President of the Confederate States. This work is a thorough investigative work of the most obscure facts of Jefferson Davis' life. It provides a thoughtful evaluation of his character, not only as a historical figure, but as a man. An extraordinary man of action and a dreamer.
