“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.
