Sintesi dell'editore

This book addresses a pivotal and overlooked moment in American history. In 1815, Britain's crack troops, fresh from victories against Napoleon, were stunningly defeated near New Orleans by a ragtag army of citizen soldiers under the fledgling commander Andrew Jackson, whom they dubbed "Old Hickory." It was this battle that first defined the United States as a military power to be reckoned with and an independent democracy here to stay.

The Battle of New Orleans sets its scenes with an almost unbelievably colorful cast of characters - a happenstance coalition of militia-men, regulars, untrained frontiersmen, free blacks, Indians, townspeople, and of course, Jackson himself. His glorious, improbable victory will catapult a once-poor, uneducated orphan boy into the White House and forge the beginning of a true nation.

©1999 Robert V. Remini (P)2000 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

"Todd provides a spirited, unvoiced presentation. He reads in a clear, distinct voice that is easy to follow. The dramatic text needs no further embellishment." ( KLIATT)
"Todd skillfully handles this well-documented history of the final battles of the War of 1812." ( Booklist)

Pronunciation please!

The narratot’s pronunciation of New Orleans names and places was abysmal. His pronunciation of Lake Borgne was especially especially offensive. It is pronounced Lake BORN not bornya

The book and event that crushes CRT

People of New New Orleans in 1815 - of all races, classes and nationalities unit and crush the ruling elites Tyranny wrapped class bigotry, racial hatred and self righteousness will never stand against an American who’s strength is derived from the pursuit of individual liberty and freedom…for all races and nationalities.

A very well lay out of what happened.

The time line of events were descrbed very well. I was able to visualize much of what was being described and I remained captivated by wanting to hear more.

One of the best Audible experiences I’ve ever had!

This was an absolutely riveting book. I listened to it almost all on one day. It is an unlikely binge listen per the title, but it is so nonetheless!

Incredible story

I’m not a history person but wanted to learn more about New Orleans. This book does a great job of helping one understand the importance of New Orleans to the US as well as how the different cultural and ethnic groups came together.

Details galore!

This is not an overly objective retelling of this significant battle in our nation’s history, however it contains more details than you’ll find in most books on the subject. I started rolling my eyes towards the end due to the absurd amount of hero worship for Gen. Andrew Jackson contained in this book. As long as you’re willing to sit through all of that, it’s an easy listen for those interested in the subject.
