In DIXIE BETRAYED, David Eicher reveals for the first time the
story of the political conspiracy, discord and dysfunction in
Richmond that cost the South the Civil War. Drawing on a wide
variety of previously unexploited sources, Eicher shows how
President Jefferson Davis fought not only with the Confederate
House and Senate and with State Governers but also with his own
vice-president and secretary of state. He interfered with his
generals in the field, micro-managing their campaigns and playing
favourites, ignoring the chain of command. He trusted a number of
men who were utterly incompetent. Secession didn't end with the
breakaway of the Confederacy and Davis' election as president; some
states, led by their governors, debated setting themselves up as
separate nations, further undermining efforts to conduct a unified
war effort. Sure to be one of the most provocative and
controversial books about the Civil War to be published in decades,
DIXIE BETRAYED blasts away previous theories with the force of a
cannonball and the grace of a gentleman.
