Více o knize
Set against the backdrop of December 1814, the story unfolds as America faces a dire situation with its economy in shambles and Washington, D.C., in ruins. The defense of New Orleans hinges on the collaboration between General Andrew Jackson and the French pirate Jean Laffite, who unite a diverse group of fighters, including free blacks, Creole aristocrats, and Choctaw Indians. Their remarkable victory against a larger British force not only cements Jackson's legacy but also ignites a wave of national pride and patriotism in the fledgling republic.
