Old Hickory's War

David Stephen Heidler

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Until now, the full story of Jackson's private war has never been told in such rich detail. The Heilders, in their exhaustive research, have combed all of the sources available, including many never before used by historians. With narrative flair they detail the progress of Jackson's ruthless determination to impose his will on his superiors in Washington and on the nation as a whole. The portrait that results may not be one flattering Jackson, but it is one vital to the understanding of how this indomitable man left his mark on a young nation.
