Detailed Account of Judah Benjamin's LifeBy Civil War ResearcherThe account of Judah Benjamin includes many details that are not available in other books about the Confederacy. Many instances of his close relationship with Jefferson Davis are presented. He knew how to stay on the good side of Davis. I have not found as much information about Judah's wife; Natalie; anywhere else. He was an amazing figure and managed to rise from any defeat; including the defeat of the Confederacy. This book provides the details of how he established himself as a successful lawyer in England after the war. The book is well-written and easy to follow.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great book; great priceBy Butchvery good book. well written. good price.3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Amazing story well told.By RheumorThis is a story that for the most part has been ignored. JPB lead a life that can hardly be believed for all its variety and triumphs. His political role in the Civil War (Atty Gen; Sec'y of the Navy; finally Sec'y of State) was overshadowed by that of Jeff Davis; a fact he never tried to alter. However; that chapter of his life was both preceded by and followed by enormous successes in other arenas. That much of this took place in societies and times not very tolerant of Jews is just a bit of what we (in New Orleans) call 'lagniappe'; that 'little bit extra' you get in the bargain. The book tells this story well and makes a most pleasant read.
