Liberty and Power: The Politics of Jacksonian America by Harry L. Watson

5.0

Full review coming soon. Suffice it to say that this is an outstanding book on Jacksonian America and a political evolution that still affects Americans today. It's well-written, concise, and covers a plethora of scholarship from the 1980s and early 1990s. It's also organized in such a way that teachers and instructors could easily develop solid argumentative lectures on the period 1815-1850. This book deserves wide readership. Scholars will particularly appreciate the extended afterword and bibliographic essay, while general readers will enjoy Watson's engaging style.
