Andrew Jackson: His Life and Times by H.W. Brands

4.0

Interesting and well written, if a bit lacking in rhetorical style. I mostly read it because of all the comparisons people are making between Jackson and Trump. I wanted to know more about-- and I have to say they are doing Jackson a huge disservice. He had some disastrous policies, but he was an earnest man with the good of the nation at heart. That is far, far more than can be said for Drumpf.
