Title: There must be something better than this
Product review: As an avid reader of historical biographies and history - my favorite author is Paul Johnson - I found this book to be a biased piece of work, written in the most narrow style. No doubt the author spent time on his subject, thus the two stars, but his personal views (interjected throughout the text) were offensive and unnecessary tripe. I am a Jackson fan and I believe that he is a true important American hero to be admired and understood IN HIS TIME. So often authors are biased from a position of their own era - which surprises me since historical happenings must be viewed relative to the era in which they occurred. I also read New Orleans 1815 by Tim Pickles: another book that was written with the author's bias. I got the book to pass on to the kids, but thought that I would read it first. I definately won't pass it on. I am still searching for a good Jackson book.
