PULITZER PRIZE BIOGRAPHY - "This famous biography covers the crucial years in Jackson's life, beginning with the political campaign of 1824 and continuing until his death. Marquis James has created a warm, human picture of a great and unique man whose life has an arresting timeliness for our own age. It is only in recent years that Andrew Jackson's real importance as a leading figure in the American democratic tradition has been fully realized and this biography has been one of the chief instruments in bringing about a reappraisal of Jackson's role."
