Summary

Who is the man now on track to become the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, and what kind of political leader is he? Based on a highly regarded Boston Globe series plus years of additional reporting, this is the first full and in-depth book on John Kerry's life. Exploring his background, his military service, his early legal and political career, and his legislative record, this incisive, frank look at Kerry's strengths and liabilities is an election year must-read.
