leave." — Library Journal
The Amazing Arden is renowned for her notorious trick of
sawing a man in half. One night in Waterloo, Iowa, with

different story to tell.

EMBATTLED REBEL
Jefferson Davis as Commander in Chief
James M. McPherson
"A thoroughly objective dissection of one of the most
enigmatic leaders of the Lost Cause."
— starred, Library Journal
History has not been kind to Jefferson Davis. His cause
went down in disastrous defeat and left the South
impoverished for generations. Had it succeeded, his cause
would have torn the nation in
two and preserved the institution
of slavery. Many consider him
an incompetent leader, if not a
traitor. Now McPherson shows us
that Davis might have been on the
wrong side of history, but it is too
easy to diminish him because of his
cause's failure.
