Overview

John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, came from a family with a tradition of public service. Educated in Europe and Massachusetts, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy even before he graduated from Yale in 1966. After serving in the Tonkin Gulf, Kerry transferred to a swift boat that patrolled the dangerous Mekong River. Wounded three times in combat, Kerry earned a Silver Star and three Purple Hearts in five months. Returning home to the United States, he helped organize a group of Vietnam veterans who opposed the war. Kerry's first foray into politics was unsuccessful. He enrolled in law school, served as a prosecutor, and was elected lieutenant governor of Massachusetts in 1982. Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1984, he served twenty years before running for president in 2004. After a hard-fought primary campaign, he won the Democratic nomination but was unable to beat the incumbent in a national election. John Kerry's life and career traverses the politics and the conflicts of the last fifty years. Book jacket.
