Description:
Andrew Jackson, his intimate circle of friends, and his ì tumultuous times are at the heart of this remarkable book about ì the man who rose from nothing to create the modern presidency. ì Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an ì orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the ì nation to his will in the cause of democracy.

Jackson's election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in ì which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in ì American politics. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years, ì and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless, ì changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats ì abroad. To tell the saga of Jackson's presidency, acclaimed ì author Jon Meacham goes inside the Jackson White House. Drawing ì on newly discovered family letters and papers, he details the ì human drama-the family, the women, and the inner circle of ì advisers- that shaped Jackson's private world through years of ì storm and victory.
