Review:
"Powerful. . . . A challenging, disturbing portrait of a democratic hero, and an equally challenging case study of the democratic system." --"The New York Times"
"Rich in insight into Jackson's personality. . . . Burstein makes fair on his promise to look dispassionately at this most passionate of presidents. . . . A very readable, insightful analysis into the character and evolution of the American republic." --"Plain Dealer"
"Excellent. . . . A must-read for anyone interested in the presidency or early American history." -"Flint Journal
""A useful, persuasively critical account of the development of Jackson's self-image as an honorable patriarch and champion of righteous government.." --"The Washington Post Book World"
"Impressive. . . . Persuasive. . . . Argues that the times shaped Jackson and thrust him into the White House as the first 'commoner' elected president because he so personified the young nation's bold, brash spirit and sense of destiny." -"The Baltimore Sun "
"In his ably drawn portrait...[Burstein] studies Jackson from many angles: as the orphan of the American Revolution, the self-taught orator, ... and as the lanky husband who loved his stocky wife, Rachel, touchingly and fiercely." -"The New York Times Book Review
"
"Well-researched and well-written.. . . Burstein, with his longstanding interest in the American mind, wants to show how we pick our national heroes." -"Chicago Tribune"
