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. \"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 never wrote his autobiography, and the art of campaign biography developed after his retirement. Yet one comes away with the feeling that here is how Jackson saw himself, might have set forth his own case, and wish to be remembered. -- Joel H. Silbey American Historical Review \"Remini's real strengths are descriptive... Evocative incident and quotation convey the Jacksonians' conviction that they were engaged in a fundamental struggle. -- Charles Sellers Journal of American History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003epreface, 1998\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eChronology of Jackson's Life, 1767-1821\u003cbr\u003eGeaealogies of the Donelson, Bulter, Jackson, and Hutchinson Families\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
