I haven't read the book, but if it contained new revelations about John Kerry that cast him in a negative light, we would have heard about it by now. At this stage of the general election campaign, most folks will be perceiving all this anti-Kerry rhetoric, as a last ditch effort to help defeat John Kerry. And you know what, they'd be right.
Read chapter 3. It contains new revelations. Since the book has not been released yet, how do you know what's in it? They have moved the release date up. If you wait a few days, you may be surprised.

The timing couldn't be better. If you have a vulnerable candidate running in the Dem primary, you don't expose him until after he wins the nomination. The public at large doesn't start focussing on the candidates until after the conventions and Labor day. There will be plenty of anti-Bush as well as anti-Kerry rhetoric. The Dems dropped the DWI revelation on Bush 2 weeks before the election. In many cases, you withhold the most damaging stuff until late in the race to prevent the other guy from responding or spinning it. Timing is everything.
