Benjamin has been described as \"the brains of the Confederacy.\" He held three successive Confederate cabinet posts--attorney general, secretary of war, and secretary of state--but some have questioned Benjamin's loyalty to Davis and the extent of his influence. More than 140 years after Benjamin first appeared on the Confederate scene, historians still debate his place in the history of the Lost Cause. Robert Douthat Meade's absorbing account of the life of this enigmatic Civil War figure, who built a second brilliant career in England after the war, remains the definitive study of Benjamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Douthat Meade was also the author of \u003ci\u003ePatrick Henry: Patriot in the Making\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePatrick Henry: Practical Revolutionary.\u003c\/i\u003e He was head of the history department at Randolph-Macon Woman's College from 1936 to 1971. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilliam C.
