All you hear on the news is how bad Andrew Jackson was, when in reality he was a badass! Enjoyable read.

Book is a disillusion. American Joke !
Bought the book and read it with an open mind. It is disillusion, period.
It is filled with way too much information. I could not help but think that all the information is presented to help mask all of the horrible things this president did, especially to Native Americans.
There are amy other history books, Native American oral traditions (which count as literature today), and manuscripts that shows this political figure as a tyrant who did not care for the sovereignty of Native Americans, one of the 4 core sovereignties in the American Constitution.
Andrew Jackson was a bad decision period, that the American people chose. He was not a lion. He should be called American Joke.

Boring!
Got this book as we were reading it for my book group. Could not wade through it! Way too much information.

interesting, but not compelling
Well done and full of info but delves into some details that to me were kind of dull. Mostly enjoyed.
