Andrew Jackson, his intimate circle of friends, and his
tumultuous times are at the heart of this remarkable book about
the man who rose from nothing to create the modern presidency.
Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an
orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the
nation to his will in the cause of democracy.
Jackson's election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in
which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in
American politics. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years,
and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless,
changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats
abroad. To tell the saga of Jackson's presidency, acclaimed
author Jon Meacham goes inside the Jackson White House. Drawing
on newly discovered family letters and papers, he details the
human drama-the family, the women, and the inner circle of
advisers- that shaped Jackson's private world through years of
storm and victory.
