Andrew Jackson
by Milton Meltzer
The distinguished historian and biographer Milton Meltzer examines the life of Andrew Jackson, the seventh U.S. president-his rise from humble beginnings in the South, his career as an Indian fighter and frontier general, and his two terms in the nation's highest office-in this worthy addition to the Meltzer collection. The "Age of Jackson" was a tumultuous time in American history, and Meltzer here brings both the period and the man vividly to life. Illustrated in black & white, sources, and an index.

Memoir in Two Voices
by Elie Wiesel
Near the end of his second term as president of France, Francois Mitterrand decided to talk openly about his life, both personal and political. President for fourteen years, longer than anyone else in the history of the French Republic, Mitterrand was interested not in constructing an elaborate memorial to himself in words but in leaving behind a living testament. He therefore turned to someone whom he knew and trusted, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, a close friend of many years, to join him in a vibrant, vigorous exchange. The topics they discuss in these pages are childhood, faith, war, power, writing, and those moments - however and whenever they arrive - that shape and sometimes define us as people. Mitterrand and Wiesel's dialogue is spontaneous, thoughtful, lyrical, blunt, far-reaching, and candid, whether it involves controversial moments in Mitterrand's political career, Wiesel's memories of Auschwitz, the importance of family and religion in their lives, or simply their favorite books and walks. Here is an unobstructed view into the lives and times of two of the greatest figures of conscience of our century, an inspiring memoir in two voices.
