Judah P. Benjamin: Confederate Statesman

Judah P. Benjamin: Confederate Statesman
- Used Book in Good Condition
A rare Sephardic Jew in the Old South and a favorite of Jefferson Davis, Judah P. Benjamin has been described as â‚¬Å“the brains of the Confederacy.â‚¬Â He held three successive Confederate cabinet postsâ‚¬â€¢attorney general, secretary of war, and secretary of stateâ‚¬â€¢but some have questioned Benjaminâ‚¬s loyalty to Davis and the extent of his influence. More than 140 years after Benjamin first appeared on the Confederate scene, historians still debate his place in the history of the Lost Cause. Robert Douthat Meadeâ‚¬s absorbing account of the life of this enigmatic Civil War figure, who built a second brilliant career in England after the war, remains the definitive study of Benjamin.
