Suitability for sourcing
On Wikipedia typically the best sources are suggested for sourcing a topic. Bibliography of Jefferson Davis shows there is a multitude of scholarly, respected books (which would be backed up by good book reviews!)

The academic book reviews of this one do not indicate it is favored by scholars. I would suggest using other books. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:35, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
