Generally, this book is a wonderful combination of political, military, and social history unlike others of that crucial period because it never loses sight of the personalities of the people who directed the fate of the war and the way those personalities influenced what they did.

A wonderful addition to my digital liberary.

Those who returned from the Peace Corps were students in my classes--highly motivated, eager to participate in community development, and aspiring to public service. Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren were a remarkable and talented persons who provided a great service to this country and served as a source of inspiration to those of my generation. Reading this biography was a trip down memory lane.

This is my loving book as I am a history lovers. A readable biography on a largely forgotten presidents. I enjoyed it as part of my project to read biographies of all American presidents. I could not find a biography of Van Buren in my local library system.

Perfect to read biographies...

Two topics about which I would like more detail about Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren efforts to build a political party and his presidency. The author says in the beginning of the book that there is not a lot of detail preserved about Van Buren and later specifies that even in Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren’s autobiography he didn't say much about party building. I have better knowledge of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren’s life, which covers the extent of my interest in the president. If one is interested in greater detail about Van Buren's political career it will be necessary to look elsewhere.

necessary to listen to learn about two presidents.

The writing is solid and a good, impartial, summary of complex presidents, in complex times.

The performance sounded like the narrator didn’t take the time to read the manuscript through first before recording. Lots of mispronunciation of relatively common words, and awkward delivery.

Good content, rough read.
