Summary
In 1828, a writer is hired to do a hatchet job on President Jackson, preparing to fight his second election. The opposition wants David Chase to write a biography that will cover the president in mud. Chase finds lots of mud--duels, adultery--but the more he rakes the more he likes this man. Now he must decide what sort of biography to write. A hack writer's dilemma. By the author of Jefferson.
