Reviews
If courage is required in a biographer of Andrew Jackson, there is, at least, no shortage of literary battles where that bravery can by displayed. Professor Remini deserves his campaign medals.
-Peter Marshall, Times Literary Supplement
Jackson's significance in American political and social history is enormous. His larger-than-life personality and equally heroic convictions and prejudices changed the Presidency and the character of American political parties . . . [Remini] has produced a wonderful portrait, rich in detail, of a fascinating and important man and an authoritative . . . account of his role in American history.
-John A. Garraty, New York Times Book Review
