The rip-roaring two-fisted man of the people, duelist, passionatelover, gambler and war hero, was also a prime creator of the presidency as the fulcrum ofexecutive power to defend democracyâ€¦Meacham argues that Jackson should be in the pantheonwith Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln for this and for his role in preserving the Union andrescuing democracy from elitism. He makes the historianâ€s case with wit and scholarship butMeacham also has the novelistâ€s artÂ of enthralling the general reader much as DavidMcCullough did for the lesser figure of John Adams.

Remini, National Book Award-winning historian andbiographer of Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, and Daniel WebsterÂ 'Finally, a book thatexplains our nation's most enigmatic hero, a man who was revered and reviled and littleunderstood. Jon Meacham brilliantly takes us inside the family circle that sustained AndrewJackson's presidency and provided his steadiness of faith. It's a vivid, fascinating human drama,and Meacham shows how the personal was interwoven with the political.
