　　“Powerful. . . . A challenging, disturbing portrait of a

democratic hero, and an equally challenging case study of the

democratic system.” —The New York Times

“Rich in insight into Jackson’s personality. . . . Burstein makes

fair on his promise to look dispassionately at this most passionate

of presidents. . . . A very readable, insightful analysis into the

character and evolution of the American republic.” —Plain

Dealer

“Excellent. . . . A must-read for anyone interested in the

presidency or early American history.” –Flint Journal

“A useful, persuasively critical account of the development of

Jackson’s self-image as an honorable patriarch and champion of

righteous government..” —The Washington Post Book World

“Impressive. . . . Persuasive. . . . Argues that the times shaped

Jackson and thrust him into the White House as the first ‘commoner’

elected president because he so personified the young nation’s

bold, brash spirit and sense of destiny.” –The Baltimore Sun

“In his ably drawn portrait…[Burstein] studies Jackson from many

angles: as the orphan of the American Revolution, the self-taught

orator, … and as the lanky husband who loved his stocky wife,

Rachel, touchingly and fiercely.” –The New York Times Book

Review

“Well-researched and well-written.. . . Burstein, with his

longstanding interest in the American mind, wants to show how we

pick our national heroes.” –Chicago Tribune

书籍介绍

Most people vaguely imagine Andrew Jackson as a jaunty warrior and a man of the people, but he was much more—a man just as complex and controversial as Jefferson or Lincoln. 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.

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.
