I ordered my copy a few days ago. At that time, I figured that it would get the same media treatment as Gary Aldrich's book. After reading Chapter 3,however, I agree that it will get plenty of attention from all sides. It will be very difficult to refute and hopefully, will pressure Kerry to authorize complete release of his military records. This book is a blockbuster. It shows how shallow and unscholarly Brinkley's book, Tour of Duty, is. If I were Brinkley, I would stop calling my self an historian.
Brinkley isn't a real historian.
He's a pet historian.
