TOUR OF DUTY John Kerry and the Vietnam War

With a chest full of medals--three Purple Hearts, Bronze and Silver Stars--Vietnam veteran John F. Kerry returned home a passionate activist against that war. After earning a Harvard law degree, Kerry was elected a U.S. Senator (D- Massachusetts) and is now the leading candidate for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination. This compelling biography details the judgment, heroism, and compassion of his wartime service and presents an unflinching account of the brutal actuality of jungle war fought by inadequately trained soldiers in a complex foreign setting. Innovative packaging is a helpful bonus. Each CD is a different color: red, white, blue, bronze, and silver. L.C. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 04]
