Praise for The Greatest Fury:
"William C. Davis reframes the historic significance of the Battle of New Orleans in a book that is both learned and accessible. Known for his wide ranging research, Davis wields his energetic writing style to bring to life military and political history in a story sure to engage an appreciative audience."--Ronald C. White, New York Times bestselling author of American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant
"With prose so sharp the reader will hear the canons' roar and feel the heat of the fire, William C. Davis has crafted an epic of American history. It's all here, from the clash of warships on Lake Borgne to Andrew Jackson's line of heroic fighters, to the Redcoats who took on an enemy inferior in numbers, weapons and experience--and suffered defeat. The Greatest Fury is a rousing read."--Winston Groom, New York Times bestselling author of The Allies and Patriotic Fire
