Andrew Jackson: His Life and Times by H.W. Brands

4.5

A great look at the man's psyche and a depiction of just how powerful a force Jackson was, as a politician and as a human being. That said, it's a tragedy that this force led to so many inhumane, cruel acts, and whether it was Brands' intent or not, this book ends up serving as a warning about anyone else who rides on the backs of populism to power. 

(Yes yes, I know who you're about to mention, but I'm too exhausted to entertain this topic any further...read the damn book, H.W. Brands is terrific)
