From the rear cover
"In A Madman's Will, Greg May deftly explores a great mystery of nineteenth-century America: why did the most eloquent champion of southern slavery free hundreds of his own enslaved people? Combining the expertise of lawyer and historian, May unravels rich documents to reveal how northern whites frustrated an emancipation approved by southern courts."
