David S. Heidler

More than thirty-five years ago, David and Jeanne Heidler decided to test the strength of their marriage by working together researching and writing about American history. In addition to teaching history — careers from which they are both now retired, Jeanne as Professor Emerita of History, United States Air Force Academy — they have collaborated on numerous books and articles about the early American Republic, Jacksonian America, and the Civil War. Their most recent works include the critically acclaimed Henry Clay: The Essential American and the award-winning Washington’s Circle: The Creation of the President (recipient of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution 2016 Award for Excellence in American History). Their next book is The Rise of Andrew Jackson: Myth, Manipulation, and Making of Modern Politics, which Basic Books will publish in October 2018. As for the marriage, so far so good.
