Paperback. Etat : Good. In this sweeping, marvelously written novel, Max Byrd, the celebrated author of Jefferson and Grant, presents a superb portrait of Andrew Jackson, a President remembered for his strong will and tempestuous nature--and regarded as the most dangerous man in America by none other than Thomas Jefferson. He became a legend during the War of 1812. He was a slave owner, land speculator, and Indian fighter. He stole another man's wife, murdered men in duels, and ordered military executions. But Andrew Jackson was also an impassioned supporter of universal suffrage and an ardent believer in the will of the people. Here the story of our controversial seventh President is told from a variety of viewpoints, including that of a young writer named David Chase who discovers, on the eve of the presidential election, a secret that could change the future of the nation. Along the way, readers encounter such notable figures as John Quincy Adams, Aaron Burr, and Sam Houston, and bear witness to an America in transition--and a man as unpredictable as democracy itself.

Will, The Washington Post With Jackson, Max] Byrd has vaulted . . . into the front rank of American historical novelists.--The Wall Street Journal Vivid and compelling . . . a convincing and intriguing portrait of Jackson as he might have been.--The Plain Dealer Full of action, emotion, and insight, Max Byrd's Jackson deserves to stand with the finest works of historical fiction.--San Francisco Chronicle Grounded in excellent, detailed historical research, Byrd paints a rich, multilayered portrait.--Chicago Tribune.…

Hardback. Etat : Fair. As he did with Presidents Jackson and Grant in those magnificent novels, Max Byrd now reveals Thomas Jefferson as we've never seen before. Byrd transports us to 1784, as Jefferson, the newly appointed American ambassador to the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, arrives in Paris--a city adrift in intrigue, upheaval, and temptation that will challenge his principles, incite his passions, and change him forever. Through the eyes of his impressionable young secretary, William Short, readers watch as the future president builds his dream of America with fellow patriots John Adams and Ben Franklin, while struggling between political ambition and an unexpected crisis of the heart with a woman who has the power to destroy him. Behind the face this complex Virginian shows the world, Thomas Jefferson is an enigmatic statesman who fights for individual liberty even as he keeps slaves, who champions free will even as he denies it to his daughters, and who holds men to the highest standards of honor--even as he embarks on a shadowy double life of his own. Max Byrd's historical novels about the third and seventh presidents bring both men alive in ways that only a literary imagination can.--George F. Will, The Washington Post Jefferson has the organic intimacy of a novel that has sprung full-blown from the imagination of its creator.--The New York Times Superb . . . fascinating in the psychological insight it provides to one of the greatest Americans . . . a truly memorable book.--W. Jackson Bate, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Samuel Johnson and John Keats Absolutely splendid historical fiction that resonates with international, provincial, and individual passion and drama.--Booklist A real tour de force.--San Francisco Chronicle.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. From bestselling writer Max Byrd comes an unforgettable evocation and portrait of Paris at the end of the second World War. The splendidly gifted (and faintly scandalous) writer Martha Gellhorn, Hemingway's famously unhappy third wife, is the presiding spirit over a great romance. Two American soldiers, torn apart by the war, meet and fall in love with Martha's prot g --the irresistibly charming and vulnerable young reporter, Annie March. Their story begins and ends on the beautiful Pont Neuf, the oldest and best-loved bridge in Paris. For Annie, every bridge connects two different worlds; to cross a bridge is to make a choice. For her, crossing Pont Neuf means choosing one man over the other, one life over another. It is a haunting love story that will move readers to tears. In its Homeric themes of death and love, Eros and Thanatos, Pont Neuf also recalls the epic sweep of Byrd's earlier novels, especially his acclaimed Civil War novel Grant. Its accounts of the last two massive battles of the war--Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands and the cataclysmic Battle of the Bulge--are riveting and authentic, the result of years of research. These historic moments are not simply a backdrop for romance, but also the treacherous and explosive landscape through which love itself moves. The New York Times called Max Byrd an expert in blending historical and fictional characters. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, Joseph Ellis, called him the reigning champion of American historical fiction.…
