Reviews
Moses of South Carolina is a welcome and long overdue reappraisal of the firebrand governor... There is much to recommend Ginsberg’s work. The author makes the Byzantine politics of the period understandable. His discussion of Moses’s marginality, the politics of corruption, the economy, and land reform in the state is compelling, intriguing, and audacious.
Excellently researched and written, Moses of South Carolina belongs in any college library.
This slim volume is informative, well-documented, and fascinating... well worth reading.
