Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger

This truly outstanding, historical page turner is about General Andrew Jackson’s defense of New Orleans during the War of 1812. Brian Kilmead gives us yet another incredible battle story and, perhaps, a better understanding of Jackson himself. To understand this battle is to better understand as a whole the south’s role in protecting this country’s independence. This sometimes misunderstood president is rightly portrayed in this book a hero and a uniter of men.
