Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry From Our Editors Adding to the outcrop of politically charged manifestos in the 2004 election campaign, this highly controversial tome trumpets a very specific agenda: discrediting the military record of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War. The book, written by longtime Kerry adversary and fellow Vietnam Navy vet John O'Neill -- who interviewed Navy men who served concurrently with Kerry on other Swift Boats -- charges Kerry acted irresponsibly in combat, did not deserve his medals, and betrayed Vietnam vets with antiwar activities. These claims have generated a huge maelstrom of countercharges and news reports over assertions that none of the damning testimony comes from men who actually served on the Swift Boat commanded by Kerry and that O'Neill dismiss the many laudatory accounts from the men who served under Kerry's command. Amid this swirl of charges and countercharges, one thing seems certain: This inflammatory book is sure to generate a firestorm of publicity. From the Publisher In 1971 John O’Neill—the officer who took over John Kerry’s Swift Boat in Vietnam— returned home from Vietnam only to realize that the man he served with, John Kerry, had become a leader of the radical group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and was slandering his fellow veterans as war criminals. O’Neill debated John Kerry on the Dick Cavett show in 1971, successfully demolishing Kerry’s accusations against his fellow troops in Vietnam. In his new book, Unfit for Command, O’Neill and co-author Jerome Corsi bring together the voices of more than two hundred Navy veterans who served with Kerry, and who feel it their duty to tell why John Kerry is unworthy of the presidency.

The story these men tell deserves to be heard and evaluated. It's hard to ignore the sworn testimony of all these Veterans who served along with John Kerry. I highly recommend this book. Wife of Disabled Vet, A reviewer, August 18, 2004, A must read! It's only fair to investigate both candidates in this controversial election of 2004. This book left me reeling with it's amazing documentation, footnoting and named sources. I have just a few questions: if the allegations are false, then why won't Kerry address them himself and show us the evidence? Why won't he release ALL his military records (as he so often demanded George Bush do???) The fact is that if Kerry has nothing to hide, then why is he hiding?? And as of this writing, one of the allegations from this book have been proven true (Christmas in Cambodia 1968). It's got to make you wonder. swiftvets.com
