"Franklin & Winston" by Jon Meacham - should I read it?

Rec'd as a gift, but I'm suspicious as it is written by Meacham, managing editor of Newsweek.

I don't want to delve into it and get sucked into a sly right-wing slamming of FDR, wasting my valuable reading time.

Any opinions or thoughts?

1. Here's the amazon.com review ...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0375505008/qid=1109175158/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/103-6075484-5393458

Sounds like a pretty good read.
