Summary: New insightful study on the failure of confederate diplomacy
Comment: Not since Frank Owsley's KING COTTON DIPLOMACY has a book length review of confederate diplomacy been published. Charles Hubbard's THE BURDEN OF CONFEDERATE DIPLOMACY takes a look at why the South failed to gain international support. Much of the blame for blunders and failings of Confederate foreign relations are put on the Jefferson Davis's and the Confederate State Department's curious choices for envoys. Hubbard uses the example of John Pickett, a man with no tact and racist hostillity towards Mexicans. Pickett's main accomplishment during his short tenure as Confederate envoy was being thrown into jail for disorderly conduct. THE BURDEN OF CONFEDERATE DIPLOMACY is well documented, with a large and well organized bibliography. I heartly recomend this book for anyone interested in the unique problems Confederate diplomats faced and why in the ned, no country recongized the independence of the Confederate States of America.
