Arguing that Jackson's routing of the British at New Orleans was the crucial military victory that first defined the US as a military power to be reckoned with, Remini (history and research, emeritus, U. of Illinois-Chicago) sets the scene of the struggle, describes in lively fashion the many characters and events of the battle, and concludes that all parties involved were brave and heroic.

The Battle of New Orleans was the climactic battle of America's "forgotten war" of 1812. Andrew Jackson led his ragtag corps of soldiers against 8,000 disciplined invading British regulars in a battle that delivered the British a humiliating military defeat. The victory solidified America's independence and marked the beginning of Jackson's rise to national prominence. Hailed as "terrifically readable" by the Chicago Sun Times, The Battle of New Orleans is popular American history at its best, bringing to life a landmark battle that helped define the character of the United States.
