As William Nester asserts in The Age of Jackson, it takes quite a leader to personify an age. A political titan for thirty-three years, Andrew Jackson possessed character, beliefs, and acts that dominated American politics. In his clear-eyed assessment of one of the most divisive leaders in American history, Nester provides new insight into the age-old debate about the very nature of power itself.
