Title: Davis Spends Most of the Book Trying to Defend His War Actions...
Review: As a 17 year member of a Civil War Round Table I've read very many first hand accounts and auto biographies from the Civil War era. This is one of the worst...or perhaps more accurately, one of the most boring ones I've read yet. Confederate President Jefferson Davis spends the majority of his book attempting to defend all of his political actions & war actions and the actions of the south and the Confederate military. He repeats himself quite a bit. (I felt while reading it that the main person he was attempting to convince was....himself!) Maybe it would have been more interesting if it hadnt been so darn long, as that made it quite boring. I could see this book coming into good use though for a college student electing to read it for a term paper. Otherwise dont waste your time.
