About this ebook

"A wonderful portrait, rich in detail, of a fascinating and important man and an authoritative . . . account of his role in American History.” —New York Times Book Review

The classic one-volume abridgement of the National Book Award-winning biography of Andrew Jackson from esteemed historian Robert V. Remini.

As president of the United Sates from 1829 to 1837, Andrew Jackson was a significant force in the nation's expansion, the growth of presidential power, and the transition from republicanism to democracy. A forceful yet sometimes tragic hero, Jackson was a man whose strength and flaws were larger than life, a president whose convictions provided the nation with one of the most influential and colorful administrations in our history.

In this enthralling, meticulously crafted abridgment, Remini captures the essence of the life and career of the seventh president of the United States.

    Duels, pitiless land grabs, huzzas - captures flavor of era. Sheds light on Trump comparisons, and shows them to be absurd. A little too apologetic for my tastes - its good but I can't help but think there is a better, less fawning one.

    Saw a review for another Jackson bio, and wanted to put in my two cents for this work. You don't have to be a historian to love this book, but it wouldn't hurt to be a history lover. This work is rich with detail on the life of the man who just might have been our most ornery President.

    The best one volume book on Jackson that I've read. I was never totally keen on Jackson until reading this book. By looking at his life and the times, he now is one of my favorite people in U.S. history. A great study in his character.
