Saw a review for another Jackson bio, and wanted to put in my two cents for this work. You don't have to be a historian to love this book, but it wouldn't hurt to be a history lover. This work is rich with detail on the life of the man who just might have been our most ornery President. (

The best one volume book on Jackson that I've read. I was never totally keen on Jackson until reading this book. By looking at his life and the times, he now is one of my favorite people in U.S. history. A great study in his character. (
