Sobre este artículo
(New York): Viking Press, 1999. Hardcover. 8vo. Blue cloth spine and cream paper over boards, pictorial dust jacket. xiv, 226pp. Illustrations, 3 maps. Very good/near fine. Book would rate "Near fine" for condition but for sporatic underlining and the occasional margin comment inked in by the recipient to whom the author inscribed this copy. Front flyleaf bears bold author signature and inscription in black ballpoint: "To Scott / It has been a / great pleasure meeting / you and seeing some / of your great treasures / I trust we will / meet again. / Robert V. Remini." Sixth printing, tight and attractive but for aforementioned flaw.
Sinopsis
The Battle of New Orleans was the climactic battle of America's "forgotten war" of 1812. Andrew Jackson led his ragtag corps of soldiers against 8,000 disciplined invading British regulars in a battle that delivered the British a humiliating military defeat. The victory solidified America's independence and marked the beginning of Jackson's rise to national prominence. Hailed as "terrifically readable" by the Chicago Sun Times , The Battle of New Orleans is popular American history at its best, bringing to life a landmark battle that helped define the character of the United States.
