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.

Jon Meacham has a good book too.

I second the Brand book.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.
