Why read it?

1 author picked Four Years in Rebel Capitals as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It is one of the best first-person accounts we have of the adolescent days of the Confederacy in Montgomery, AL. De Leon is a fine writer who provides great pen portraits of the people involved, endless anecdotal detail on political and social life among the founders and their Montgomery hosts, and some penetrating insights into the jealousies and rivalries that helped to cripple their efforts from the outset.

From William's list on the politics of the Confederacy.
