Negative Positive
Title: Bad Release Date
Review: I am a Vietnam vet and former resident of Massachusetts who always supported John Kerry. The longest section of this book on Vietnam is excellent, based on Kerry's diaries. The second half does read like a campaign bio, with a uncritical look at Kerry's time w/ Vietnam Vets Against the War and Mass. politics. It wasdifficult to read, with Kerry constantly in the news on the attack against Dean. No politican is at his best when attaching someone else time and time again; the contrast between the Kerry in the book and TV is too great.
Is the review positive or negative?
