"William C. Davis is one of my favorite authors. He writes well and with great insight into the events and people of the Civil War. In this biography, he makes a man most of us know only as the president of the Confederacy and a stern photograph a living person, one whom ultimately I felt I understood much better and held with some sympathy. The book of course covers his presidency and the Civil War, but doesn't stint on his life before or after, mathematically much more of his life. And if family stories are true, we were sort of almost kin. I have been told Zachary Taylor is my sixth cousin, and J. Davis was briefly married to Taylor's daught, Knoxie. This book actually put me back to reading biography. Trememndous - can't say enough good about it - a very successful look into this complex man's life."
