Mordecai refused to bow down before him; and Haman, being stung to the quick by the conduct of Mordecai, resolved to accomplish his death in a wholesale destruction of the Jewish exiles throughout the Persian empire (Esther 3:8-15).

 History in Review - Mordecai: An Early American Family, by Emily Bingham
In detailing the lives of the female members of the family, she not only looks at their roles as wives, mothers, and daughters, but also at the roles these women played in the public eye.
Her portrayal of the various members of the Mordecai family is spiced with personal details that help the reader to understand why each member made the choices that they did.
For instance, as Bingham points out, the Civil War pitted various members of the Mordecai family against each other - just as it divided many families throughout the nation, and the emotional animosity that the war engendered tended to last long after the war itself was settled.

 Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - Mordecai by Emily Bingham, reviewed by The New Republic Online   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Her book exhaustively mines both the Mordecais' correspondence and the supplementary collections of their diaries and personal papers to furnish a finely grained portrait of a Southern Jewish clan whose members, more often than not, were at odds with one another, especially when it came to matters of belief.
Still other Mordecais — lots of them, in fact — actually converted to Christianity, their hearts swayed by the "final conviction of the truth as it is in Jesus," or by their spouses.
To lose sight of this dimension of the Mordecai family saga is to render a "gross disservice" to the Mordecais, to latter-day readers of their letters, and, above all, to history.
