Jefferson Davis: Unconquerable Heart is a 1999 non-fiction book by Felicity Allen, published by the University of Missouri Press, about Jefferson Davis.
The author argued that many existing works were overly critical and did not show positive aspects of Davis.[1] Judith Anne Fenner Gentry of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette characterized the work's goal as showing all aspects of Jefferson Davis rather than focusing on the individual's "faults".[2] Brian D. McKnight of Mississippi State University described the work as being "partisan" to the Confederate States of America.[3]
Publishers Weekly stated that the book mainly focused on Davis's personal character in his family life and not outside, wider political developments. The publication stated that the book illustrates "emphasis on Davis the family man and Davis the martyred symbol of a vanquished but proud and unrepentant South."[4]
