"Groom tells the astonishing story of how a ragtag corps....defeated a large....and professional British army at the Battle of New Orleans on Jan. 8, 1815....lively and interesting to read against the backdrop of current events."
--Adam Rothman, Washington Post Book World
A fast-paced historical account that reads like a novel.
--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Groom....has written a lively account of the last battle in the War of 1812....plenty of details about early 19th-century life and vignettes from what was already America's most distinct city add depth and flavor to Groom's narrative. This is not revisionist history but a good retelling."
--Library Journal
"His finest book to date. Groom has penned an eloquent and riveting account of the Battle of New Orleans."
--John Sledge, Mobile Press-Register
Groom is a master...By the conclusion of the book, you will want to visit the city again to see the still-preserved battle site, which you will have visited in your imagination.
--The Decatur Daily
Winston Groom has that most enviable gift as a writer, an instantly likable voice.
--Wilson Quarterly
