Jackson's Way
by John Buchanan
Advance Praise for Jackson's Way "I enjoyed it very much. It’s an excellent study . . . of an area and a time period too long neglected by historians . . . provides valuable new information, particularly on the Indians."–Robert Remini, author of The Life of Andrew Jackson "John Buchanan has written a book that explodes with action and drama on virtually every page. Yet the complex story of the birth of the American West never loses its focus–Andrew Jackson’s improbable rise to fame and power. This is an American saga, brilliantly told by a master of historical narrative."–Thomas Fleming, author of Duel: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the Future of America Praise for John Buchanan’s The Road to Guilford Courthouse "Outstanding popular military history . . . an accomplishment of the same high order as . . . McPherson’s Civil War historiography."–Booklist " A tense, exciting historical account of a little-known chapter of the Revolution, displaying history writing at its best."–Kirkus Reviews "His compelling narrative brings readers closer than ever before to the reality of Revolutionary warfare in the Carolinas."–Raleigh News & Observer "A lively, accurate account of a critical period in the War of Independence in the South . . . it deserves a large reading audience."–Don Higginbotham, Professor of History, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Dust jacket reads: "No OTHER FORM OF TRANSPORTATION has changed the quality and character of the American presidency as dramatically as aviation. The many advances in air travel have allowed presidents to extend their reach both at home and abroad, creating new opportunities for personal interaction and diplomacy, as well as new challenges for presidential security. Air Force One: The Aircraft That Shaped the Modern Presidency is the story of the presidents, the planes, and their many trips across the nation and around the globe. It is also a vehicle for better understanding the nature of each presidential administration in the second half of the twentieth century. Featuring more than 260 full-color and archival photographs, some of which have never before been published, this book shows how these presidents - and the historical events that engulfed them - transformed a unique set of planes into a vital national asset. Through a compelling historical narrative, authoritative sidebar essays, and exhaustively researched insider accounts, author Yon Hardesty offers a fresh perspective on well-known political events and reveals how the presidency itself was affected by the remarkable events and advances of the twentieth century.
