'One can still hope that there remains enough gallantry in pragmatic modern America to raise a cheer for a good loser whatever his cause--even a Charles I or a Maximillian. And one can call upon the same generous impulse for applause for anyone who made the best of a bad situation--even a talleyrand. To anyone so inclined this book may be commended--even if Davis was not quite the best of losers and even if some of his followers made the most instead of the best of a bad situation.' -C Vann.
