À propos de cet audio
This book paints a vivid picture of Jefferson Davis as a multifaceted, often charismatic man who mirrored the turbulent times in which he lived and who stood solidly for the South that he loved. Ranging over the complete span of his long life, it shows him as a hardworking Mississippi planter, a compassionate slave owner, a hero of the Mexican War, and an able secretary of war under Franklin Pierce. But it is on the years of the Civil War and Davis’s controversial performance as president of the Confederacy that the book naturally focuses.
Loved by many for his eloquence, courage, loyalty, and devotion, he was vilified by many more for his well-known obstinacy and vanity, his feuds with his best commanders, and his unwillingness to delegate responsibility to others. Judicious, balanced, compassionate, Jefferson Davis is an enthralling account of a remarkable man.

good book bad narration
An informative look into the life of a complicated human during a whirlwind period of American history. I learned much about Jefferson Davis I had it previously known.
my grip with this book is the narrator.
threw out most of this book he delivers the story as if he is a news broadcaster trying to get a story out in 30 seconds. There are few pauses and his cadence is hard to keep up with. the whole book is read in one long never ending sentence.

Must play at slower speed
It's a food audiobook but I agree with the previous comment. I can only listen to it at 0.85 speed. Any quicker is difficult to listen to.
