3169. The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page, by Burton J.

Page was ambassador to England from 1913 to 1918, and died shortly after resigning as such. This is not a well-written book, and is mainly made up of Page's letters from 1913 to 1918.

Excellent book on the civil government and foreign relations of the Confederacy. Author occassionally lets his pro-Confederate viewpoint slip into the narrative, but for the factual information it's priceless in discussing the governmental history of the Confederacy and in tracing the reasons for its inevitable collapse.
