Acerca de esta escucha
Andrew Jackson was easily one of the most mercurially energetic personalities in American history. Along with Washington and Lincoln, Jackson also ranks as one of the three most consequential US presidents. After Jackson, the nation would never be the same. His life in the Tennessee wilderness as lawyer, planter, and soldier was legendary, as were his duels, his racing stables, his whirlwind romance with Rachel Donelson, and his victory over the British at New Orleans. Born in South Carolina in 1767, Jackson came of age during the hardship and cruelties of the Revolutionary War. He lost his father three weeks before his birth, and during the war, both of his elder brothers and his mother. Jackson became an orphan at the age of 14. Follow along in this audiobook as the tumultuous saga of Jackson’s career as planter, lawyer, soldier, politician, and statesman unfolds during the raging tempests of the Jacksonian Age.
THE LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON was originally published in two volumes: THE BORDER CAPTAIN and PORTRAIT OF A PRESIDENT. The work was consolidated in 1938. To aid the listener, start times are listed for the six sections into which the book has been divided, as follows (hrs:mins):
The Orphan 00:00
The Robe 01:36
The Sword 05:30
A Reluctant Candidate 13:43

The Pax Romana has long been shorthand for the empire’s golden age. Stretching from Caledonia to Arabia, Rome ruled over a quarter of the world’s population. It was the wealthiest and most formidable state in the history of humankind. Pax is a captivating narrative history of Rome at the height of its power. From the gilded capital to realms beyond the frontier, historian Tom Holland shows ancient Rome in all its glory

Volume Two opens in late 1754. Having resigned his commission in the Virginia militia, Washington pondered his future as a soldier. But by the spring of 1755, he had been made aide de camp to British general Edward Braddock. It was to prove a fateful event. Washington accompanied Braddock on his disastrous expedition to capture Fort DuQuesne (Pittsburgh), but the small army was ambushed and Braddock killed. Young Washington distinguished himself in the hopeless battle and subsequent retreat.

Now with an epilogue that speaks directly to the current energy crisis, The Prize recounts the panoramic history of the world’s most important resource—oil. Daniel Yergin’s timeless book chronicles the struggle for wealth and power that has surrounded oil for decades and that continues to fuel global rivalries, shake the world economy, and transform the destiny of men and nations. This updated edition categorically proves the unwavering significance of oil throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first by tracing economic and political clashes over precious “black gold.”

Often remembered as the president who died shortly after taking office, William Henry Harrison remains misunderstood by most Americans. Before becoming the ninth president of the United States in 1841, Harrison was instrumental in shaping the early years of westward expansion. Robert M. Owens now explores that era through the lens of Harrison’s career, providing a new synthesis of his role in the political development of Indiana Territory and in shaping Indian policy in the Old Northwest.
