The only book written by The President Of The Confederacy offers insight into the reasons for the Civil War. This fascinating two-volume set defends the South's secession and provides a detailed history of the American Civil War. Written over three years while Davis was in ill health and financial distress, the work serves more as a legal and political "apologia" than a traditional memoir. The book is a cornerstone of "Lost Cause" historiography, aiming to justify the Confederacy's existence to future generations.
