Another pop history pageturner from the New York Times bestselling
authors of George Washington's Secret Six and Thomas Jefferson and
the Tripoli Pirates. When the British fought the young United
States during the War of 1812, they knew that taking the mouth of
the Mississippi River was the key to crippling their former colony.
Capturing the city of New Orleans and stopping trade up the river
sounded like a simple task--New Orleans was far away from
Washington, out of sight and out of mind for the politicians. What
the British didn't count on was the power of General Andrew
Jackson. A formidable military leader with a grudge against the
British and a heart for the common man, he rallied the divided
inhabitants of New Orleans, bringing together Frenchmen, Native
Americans, freed slaves, pirates, and Kentucky woodsmen. In their
now trademark fashion, Kilmeade and Yaeger will trace the
development of Jackson's character and bring the reader to the
scenes of one of the most pivotal--and surprising--battles in
American history.
