{"product_id":"jackson","title":"Jackson","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrphan. Frontiersman. President. The rise of Andrew Jackson to the highest office in America has become a legend of leadership, perseverance, and ambition. Central to Jackson's historic climb -  long before the White House - was his military service. Scarred permanently as a child by the sword of a British soldier, Jackson grew into an unwavering leader, a general whose charisma and sheer force of personality called to mind those of George Washington a generation earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs commander of the Tennessee militia in the War of 1812, Jackson became \"Old Hickory,\" the indomitable spearhead in a series of bloody conflicts with Creek Indians on the southwest frontier. Slight of frame with silver hair that seemed to stand on command, Jackson once stood down a mutinous brigade as an army of one. Then came New Orleans. Author Paul Vickery chronicles Jackson's defining battle and the decisions a single, impassioned commander made to ensure a growing nation could, once and for all, be free of British might. The hero of New Orleans infused America, for the first time, with a sense of nationalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJackson was decisive and unforgiving, a commander firmly in his element. In his own words, \"One man with courage makes a majority.\" The lessons of one extraordinary general endure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42986089381968,"sku":"9781595554543B","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/jackson","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
