Book Synopsis

Thousands of books have been written covering every aspect of the Civil War. Yet scant attention has been given to the civilian government of the Confederacy. The most recent book on the subject was published in 1944, and what little has been written since is scattered among various journals and magazines.

Drawing on scholarship old and new, this book provides a detailed overview of each of the Confederacy''s six executive departments, along with biographical sketches of each man who held a position in Jefferson Davis''s cabinet, from Secretary of State to Postmaster General.
