Gerald Nicosia's Home to War: A History of the Vietnam Veterans' Movement, (Crown, 2001). It meticulously documents the players, including Kerry and Fonda, the strategy, planning, financing, etc. of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and other organizations. John Forbes Kerry contributed to the book by way of two interviews with the author, in late 1988 and 1989.

"John Kerry's Anti-War Book Riles Former Green Beret"
By Marc Morano
CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer
February 19, 2004

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CNSNews.com) - John F. Kerry downplayed any threat posed by the communist government of North Vietnam in his 1971 book The New Soldier and instead charged that American soldiers "were killing women and children" and helping to create "a nation of refugees, bomb craters, amputees, orphans, widows, and prostitutes..." in Vietnam.

The book, a copy of which CNSNews.com has obtained, is very difficult to find 33 years after it was written. Single copies of the book reportedly are selling for as high as $849.95 on the Internet. The cover of the book displays long-haired, bearded men carrying an upside down American flag in an apparent mockery of the famous planting of the American flag on Iwo Jima during World War II."
