Default The new soldier

Since its publication in 1971, John Kerry's book "The New Soldier" has
acquired almost legendary status. Rumors abound of political operatives
scrambling to locate and suppress stray copies during Kerry's House
campaign in 1972. Copies now sell on Ebay for upwards of $500.

In this section we present an overview of the book, along with most of
the text and selected photographs. Much of the text consists of John
Kerry's testimony before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on
April 22, 1971, and quotes from other members of the VVAW, mostly taken
from the Winter Soldier testimony itself. Both of these are present in
the Congressional Record, and are therefore in the public domain.
