Brian Kilmeade
Another pop history pause resister from the New York Times best-selling authors of George Washington's Secret Six and Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates.
When the British fought the young United States during the War of 1812, they knew that taking the mouth of the Mississippi River was the key to crippling their former colony. Capturing the city of New Orleans and stopping trade up the river sounded like a simple task - New Orleans was far away from Washington, out of sight and out of mind for the politicians.
What the British didn't count on was the power of General Andrew Jackson. A formidable military leader with a grudge against the British and a heart for the common man, he rallied the divided inhabitants of New Orleans, bringing together Frenchmen, Native Americans, freed slaves, pirates, and Kentucky woodsmen.
In their now trademark fashion, Kilmeade and Yaeger will trace the development of Jackson's character and bring the listener to the scenes of one of the most pivotal - and surprising - battles in American history.

“Riveting history that reads like a stay-up-all-night thriller. Don’t miss this book!” (Brad Thor, author of Use of Force)

This is the second book I’ve read that was written by Brian and I am impressed by his ability to present events in such an engaging way.
Thank you, Brian! I’ll be reading more of your work. Keep it up!

As a unique American city. Now I have a new sense of this city. Jackson Square, the convent next-door the old French buildings and even the cobblestones I know now came so close to being destroyed. And the battle of 1814 in New Orleans gave our country independence from Britain As equal to the revolution of 1776.
The narrative was easy to listen to and had so many terrific details it was a pleasure to listen to
