William C. Davis, one of America's best Civil War historians, here offers a definitive portrait of the Confederacy unlike any that has come before. Drawing on decades of writing and research among an unprecedented number of archives, this book tells the story of the Confederate States of America not simply as a military saga, but rather as a full portrait of society and incipient nation. The first history of the Confederacy in decades, the culmination of a great scholar's career, this book combines politics, ecomonics, and social history to set a new standard for its subject.
