    • 2023

      The next John Hay historical thriller from award-winning political journalist Burt Solomon, this time focused on one of America's most controversial presidents: Andrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson was called The Great Commoner, appealing to the masses and loathing the establishment and all others he deemed elitists. Once Johnson made an enemy, you became his enemy for life. He saw insults where none was intended and personal loyalty meant everything...and his devoted fans would follow him into the depths of Hell. And he was the first U.S. president to be impeached. Sound familiar? When a man has as many enemies as the Devil, what death could really be a natural one?
