ISBN10: 1594204977, ISBN13: 9781594204975, [publisher: The Penguin Press, New York, New York] Hardcover First Edition This beautiful copy has been SIGNED by James M. McPherson on the title page! A powerful new reckoning with Jefferson Davis as Military Commander of the Confederacy. Many Americans in Davis's time and in later generations considered him an incompetent leader, if not a traitor. Not so, argues James M. McPherson. In "Embattled Rebel," McPherson shows us that Davis may have been on the wrong side of history, but it is too easy to dismiss him because of his cause's failure. In order to understand the Civil War and its outcome, it is essential to give Davis his due as a military leader and as the president of an aspiring Confederate nation.
