{"product_id":"patriotic-fire-winston-groom-9781400095667","title":"Patriotic Fire: Andrew Jackson and Jean Laffite at the Battle of New Orleans","description":"December 1814: its economy in tatters, its capital city of Washington, D.C., burnt to the ground, a young America was again at war with the militarily superior English crown. With an enormous enemy armada approaching New Orleans, two unlikely allies teamed up to repel the British in one of the greatest battles ever fought in North America.The defense of New Orleans fell to the backwoods general Andrew Jackson, who joined the raffish French pirate Jean Laffite to command a ramshackle army made of free blacks, Creole aristocrats, Choctaw Indians, gunboat sailors and militiamen. Together these leaders and their scruffy crew turned back a British force more than twice their number. Offering an enthralling narrative and outsized characters, \u003ci\u003ePatriotic Fire\u003c\/i\u003e is a vibrant recounting of the plots and strategies that made Jackson a national hero and gave the nascent republic a much-needed victory and surge of pride and patriotism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Winston Groom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400095662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400095667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.22w x 0.70d","brand":"Winston Groom","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043583553791,"sku":"9781400095667","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed3b8a33-915e-4f0a-9b0a-b5bdceb66b63.jpg?v=1766344187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/patriotic-fire-winston-groom-9781400095667","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
