　　December 1814: its economy in tatters, its capital city of

Washington, D.C., burnt to the ground, a young America was again at

war with the militarily superior English crown. With an enormous

enemy armada approaching New Orleans, two unlikely allies teamed up

to repel the British in one of the greatest battles ever fought in

North America.

The defense of New Orleans fell to the backwoods general Andrew

Jackson, who joined the raffish French pirate Jean Laffite to

command a ramshackle army made of free blacks, Creole aristocrats,

Choctaw Indians, gunboat sailors and militiamen. Together these

leaders and their scruffy crew turned back a British force more

than twice their number. Offering an enthralling narrative and

outsized characters, Patriotic Fire is a vibrant recounting of the

plots and strategies that made Jackson a national hero and gave the

nascent republic a much-needed victory and surge of pride and

patriotism.
