Jefferson Davis and His Generals : The Failure of Confederate Command in the West Paperback / softback
by Steven E. Woodworth
Part of the Modern War Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Jefferson Davis is a historical figure who provokes strong passions among scholars.
Through the years historians have place him at both ends of the spectrum: some have portrayed him as a hero, others have judged him incompetent.
In ""Jefferson Davis and his Generals"", Steven Woodworth aims to show that both extremes are accurate - Davis was both heroic and incompetent.
Yet neither viewpoint reveals the whole truth about this complicated figure.
Woodworth's portrait of Davis reveals an experienced, talented, and courageous leader who, nevertheless, undermined the Confederacy's cause in the trans-Appalachian west, where the South lost the war.
