What's a good book I could read about him and his presidency?

Robert Remini is your friend, three volumes.

If over a thousand pages is too much, try H.W. Brands.

Thank you! As a retired member of the Class of '78 I think I can manage 1000 pages.

Only the glossy pictures in the center of each volume and none you can color, although they are black and white…Hmmmm.

American Lion is a solid review of his presidency. Brand's book is more balanced on Jackson's presidency and character while Remini seems to take Jackson's perspective as the correct one in almost everything.
