Andrew Johnson, Plebeian and Patriot is a comprehensive and scholarly biography that examines the tumultuous life and political career of the seventeenth President of the United States. The work traces Johnson's remarkable journey from his humble beginnings as a tailor's apprentice in Tennessee to his rise through the ranks of state and national politics, ultimately assuming the presidency during the fragile years following the American Civil War.

The narrative focuses heavily on the complexities of the Reconstruction era, detailing Johnson's efforts to navigate the reunification of a fractured nation while facing intense opposition from the Radical Republicans in Congress. The text provides a deep dive into the constitutional crises of the 1860s, including the events surrounding Johnson's historic impeachment. Robert W. Winston presents a portrait of a leader defined by his plebeian identity and a steadfast, if often stubborn, devotion to his vision of the Union and the Constitution.
