Jefferson Davis V1: The Unreal And The Real is a biography written by Robert McElroy that chronicles the life of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume covering Davis's early life, his military career, and his political rise to the presidency. McElroy delves into Davis's childhood, his education at West Point, and his service in the Mexican-American War. He also explores Davis's time as a senator and his role in the secession of the southern states. Throughout the book, McElroy paints a vivid portrait of Davis, highlighting his strengths as a leader and his flaws as a politician. He examines Davis's relationships with his family, his colleagues, and his enemies, and provides insights into his motivations and beliefs. McElroy also contextualizes Davis's life within the larger historical context of the United States during the mid-19th century, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the political and social forces at play during this tumultuous time in American history.Overall, Jefferson Davis V1: The Unreal And The Real is a comprehensive and engaging biography of one of the most controversial figures in American history. It offers readers a nuanced and thoughtful perspective on Davis's life and legacy, and sheds light on the complex issues surrounding the Civil War and its aftermath.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
