American Lion. Good book??

Curious if anyone has read this recent biography of Andrew Jackson to comment on it. I'm skeptical since it was written by the editor of Newsweek, and, well, knowing how they as well as most other periodicals are not at all reliable for objectivity and truth, I wasn't sure if this was a "good" biography to get for myself. Thanks :D

Since the two headlines on CNN [about the book] are "Andrew Jackson: Great leader or angry hick?" and "Seventh president a mass of contradictions", it doesn't sound like an awe-inspiring tale of heroics.
