Now, with the first major reinterpretation of his life in a generation, historian   Andrew Burstein brings back Jackson with all his audacity and hot-tempered rhetoric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The unabashedly aggressive Jackson came of age in the Carolinas during the American   Revolution, migrating to Tennessee after he was orphaned at the age of fourteen.    Little more than a poorly educated frontier bully when he first opened his public   career, he was possessed of a controlling sense of honor that would lead him into   more than one duel.  As a lover, he fled to Spanish Mississippi with his wife-to-be   before she was divorced.  Yet when he was declared a national hero upon his stunning   victory at the Battle of New Orleans, Jackson suddenly found the presidency within   his grasp.  How this brash frontiersman took Washington by storm makes a fascinating   story, and Burstein tells it thoughtfully and expertly.  In the process he reveals   why Jackson was so fiercely loved (and fiercely hated) by the American people, and   how his presidency came to shape the young country’s character.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412637745407,"sku":"9780375714047","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780375714047_s600x595.jpg?v=1782323909","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780375714047","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
