True Enough Reflection
I can already tell that I am going to enjoy this book. Unlike its predecessor 1984, this book seems normal from the start. The author has presented the case of how one group essentially destroyed John Kerry's chance for becoming president through utilizing the media as a destructive tool. I followed that election relatively closely, and had heard that John Kerry's military record was in question, but I had no idea that there was a single force behind it that was trying to destroy him. The book is an enjoyable read thus far and I'm very interested to see how it progresses. This book reminded me that our nations politics is still severely flawed. Politics is a dirty game, and it is shameful when the truth gets twisted for personal gain. This book seems to be more of a research book than one with a defined plot, but the ideas are still very interesting and relevant to our modern politics.

I agree with you that this book, so far, seems to be more research based than with a defined plot as you put it. It should definitely be a different, interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this book is a nice change of pace from 1984. After reading the first chapter I was also surprised that Kerry's military record being in question was a result of a single force.
