I don't know what this book is about, since I never even heard of it, let alone read it. It must be pretty stupid, or the kerry lovers in the MSM would have blared it forth, and we all would have heard of it, the way we heard about "Profiles in Courage" or "Earth in the Balance."
Presumably, just as algore "wrote" "Earth in the Balance" to establish his environmental credentials, Kerry "wrote" this book to establish his national security credentials, in preparation for a run for the presidency. Then things changed, and the book proved to be more harmful than helpful.
Kerry is far too lazy to have participated AT ALL in writing this book. It was ghost-written for him by hired hands, and it's very possible he never even bothered to read it.

You have captured the ‘essence’ of this parasite. Tereyza’s comment about “not having a real job’ is more applicable to her boy John. He stayed in VN 3 months vs. 12. He never showed up for Senate meetings, etc., etc., Newt Gingrich did the heavy lifting…during “do nothing Clinton’s” presidency.

"The New War: The Web of Crime That Threatens America's National Security."
This book was cited as a valuable source of information on the drug wars. I had seen Kerry on C-SPAN sometime in the late '90s or in 2000 chairing the Senate inquiry on the war on drugs, afterwhich I tried getting a copy of his book. But that was not to be.
After getting on the net and inquiring at the local used book stores where I was told no copy was available, I called Kerry's DC office. The woman answering the phone said that no one in the office knew where a copy was, and "I doubt if the Senator has a personal copy of his own."
Funny how he cites his writing from time to time and still can't dig up a copy to even loan a serious researcher. Sort of like his anti-Vietnam War works.
