Hey guys, I was looking for the best book I could pick up on the history of AJ. best would be defined as most comprehensive and unbiased history. Thanks!
Robert V. Remini wrote a monumental 3-volume biography on Andrew Jackson: Vol. 1 The Course of American Empire (1767–1821) (1977); Vol. 2 The Course of American Freedom (1822–1832) (1981); Vol. 3 The Course of American Democracy (1833–1845) (1984)
The Life of Andrew Jackson (2011) is an abridged one-volume edition of Robert V. Remini's 3-volume biography.
Andrew Jackson: His Life and Times (2005) by H. W. Brands is a comprehensive one-volume biography. If taking on 3-volumes written by Remini is too tall a task then go with this biography.
The Age of Jackson (1945) by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. is a historically important interpretation of the Jacksonian Era.
