Marrin gives readers an Andrew Jackson who is both a product and a shaper of his times. By deliberately showing Jackson's contradictions, he lets readers judge the worth of Jackson the man as well as measure the value of Jackson the general and president. Illustrated with archival photographs and appended with source notes, suggestions for additional reading, and an index.
