Reviews

[Ni · Rating 2 out of 5]

I skipped through most of this book because it turns out to have been written in 2003 as the electoral campaign for the primaries which of course we know how that turned out. But I was kind of surprised to see some of his positions and how rather arrogant they are actually.

If you wanted a decent portrait of where John Kerry stood on the issues during his presidential campaign, this was a good book for that.

After reading this, I wish John Kerry would run for president again.
