Andrew Jackson as a Public Man

The American Statesman series has a history of providing complete biographies, and Andrew Jackson is no different. It begins with a summary of his first 45 years, but then quickly delves into his role in the war with England, his time in Florida and on through to his first administration. It examines some of the key issues of his presidency before moving on to his second administration and those issues. The book concludes at the end of his public career and does not seek to go further into his personal life. Public and presidential historians alike will enjoy walking in the shadow of the seventh President of the United States.
