ANDREW JACKSON(ISBN=9780385507387) 英文原版 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　The extraordinary story of Andrew Jackson—the colorful,

dynamic, and forceful president who ushered in the Age of Democracy

and set a still young America on its path to greatness—told by the

bestselling author of The First American.

The most famous American of his time, Andrew Jackson is a seminal

figure in American history. The first “common man” to rise to the

presidency, Jackson embodied the spirit and the vision of the

emerging American nation; the term “Jacksonian democracy” is

embedded in our national lexicon.

With the sweep, passion, and attention to detail that made The

First American a Pulitzer Prize finalist and a national bestseller,

historian H.W. Brands shapes a historical narrative that’s as

fast-paced and compelling as the best fiction. He follows Andrew

Jackson from his days as rebellious youth, risking execution to

free the Carolinas of the British during the Revolutionary War, to

his years as a young lawyer and congressman from the newly settled

frontier state of Tennessee. As general of the Tennessee militia,

he put down a massive Indian uprising in the South, securing the

safety of American settlers, and his famous rout of the British at

the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812 made him a

national hero.

But it is Jackson’s contributions as president, however, that won

him a place in the pantheon of America’s greatest leaders. A man of

the people, without formal education or the family lineage of the

Founding Fathers, he sought as president to make the country a

genuine democracy, governed by and for the people. Jackson,

although respectful of states’ rights, devoted himself to the

preservation of the Union, whose future in that age was still very

much in question. When South Carolina, his home state, threatened

to secede over the issue of slavery, Jackson promised to march down

with 100,000 federal soldiers should it dare.

In the bestselling tradition of Founding Brothers and His

Excellency by Joseph Ellis and of John Adams by David McCullough,

Andrew Jackson is the first single-volume, full-length biography of

Jackson in decades. This magisterial portrait of one of our

greatest leaders promises to reshape our understanding of both the

man and his era and is sure to be greeted with enthusiasm and

acclaim.
