I have not read Goldstein's book, but multiple reviews by mathematicians said that while she did a careful and sensitive job on the biographical parts of the book, she completely messed up the mathematical parts. It's not that a biography needs to focus on technical details (that's what textbooks are for), but the author should at least understand them before writing about their significance. See Torkel Franzén's book for more about that.
