Encouraged by the British, Indian tribes attacked settlers in the West, while the Royal Navy terrorized the coasts. By mid-1814, President James Madison's generals had lost control of the war in the North, losing battles in Canada. Then British troops set the White House ablaze, and a feeling of hopelessness spread across the country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInto this dire situation stepped Major General Andrew Jackson, who feared that President Madison's men were overlooking the most important target of all: New Orleans. If the British conquered New Orleans, they would control the mouth of the Mississippi River, cutting Americans off from that essential trade route. The new nation's dreams of western expansion would be crushed before they really got off the ground. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJackson had to convince President Madison and his War Department to take him seriously, even though he wasn't one of the Virginians and New Englanders who dominated the government. He had to assemble a coalition of frontier militiamen, French-speaking Louisianans, Cherokee and Choctaw Indians, freed slaves, and even some pirates. And then he had to face the most powerful military force in the world, in the confusing terrain of the Louisiana bayous. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs they did in their previous bestsellers, Kilmeade and Yaeger make history come alive with a riveting true story that will keep you turning the pages. You'll finish with a new understanding of one of our greatest generals and a renewed appreciation for the brave men who fought so that America could one day stretch \"from sea to shining sea.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRIAN KILMEADE \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eDON YAEGER\u003c\/b\u003e are the coauthors of \u003ci\u003eGeorge Washington's Secret Six\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates\u003c\/i\u003e, both \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers.
