“I mean, heck! It was Jerome Corsi and his book that did in Kerry... LOL...”

No, it was John O’Neill’s book, Corsi did some minor editing but took credit for the entire work. Later, O’Neill got a little upset about it and said so.

I bought the book right away and read it. I thought it was great. But, I always looked at it as being Corsi’s work, too, not just a ghost writer... but yes, there is a controversy over that... as anyone can see from the following reference...


After controversial statements made by Corsi became public, O’Neill denied Corsi’s coauthorship of the book, saying that Corsi was “simply an editor and not really any sort of co-author.” However, portions of the book contain material also found in articles posted under Corsi’s name at WinterSoldier.com, a website critical of John Kerry, and O’Neill is cited in a later book as describing Corsi as helping to write “Unfit for Command,” and urging him to back out of media appearances after the controversial comments became public.

I’m just glad the book came out, because I do believe it made a difference and I’m glad it got into the public’s hands.
