Fascinating précis of the tragic Confederate leader's life

Though not a long book, Eaton's biography of Confederate president Jefferson Davis is rich and fascinating reading. Beyond a few repetitions it is quite well written. Although I generally prefer biography in chronological order (and, for the most part, this one is), I did not at all mind the breakdown of Davis's Civil War years into topical sections rather than calendrical. Eaton seems sympathetic to Davis, yet he ultimately paints a picture of a man whose own flaws contributed mightily to the losing of his cause.
