“Although the members of the Confederate cabinet were, as individuals, talented and capable men, they were not particularly effective. The cabinet really never worked well together as a team. Some of them did not stay in office long enough to be effective. Others, arguably, were not effective because they stayed too long.”
(Confederate Cabinet Departments and Secretaries, p. 24)

I was wondering if you have read “Look Away!: A History of the Confederate States of America” and what you thought of it. I read it a few years ago and thought it was a good read.

Haven’t read that particular book, but I have read several others by William C. Davis. A very good author and historian. That title’s going on my “to-read” list! So many books, so little time! 🙂
