NewsMax says there's a new book out that provides a historical assessment of the 2004 campaign and how vets and the "new media" defeated John Kerry. It's called "To Set the Record Straight: How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry," by Scott Swett and Tim Ziegler.
According to NewsMax, here's a little of what the book contains:
"To Set the Record Straight" also contains:
Conclusive evidence that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth acted independently, and were not a creation of the Bush campaign as their opponents repeatedly claimed.
Detailed analysis of the efforts by the old media to blunt the impact of the anti-Kerry veterans by distorting and misrepresenting their charges
Previously unpublished information on the "war crimes" propaganda effort that Kerry led during the Vietnam War, including material showing how the antiwar movement worked with the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong.
New eyewitness perspectives on Kerry's "No Man Left Behind" engagement from a Forward Air Control pilot and the mission's Special Forces commander.
The powerful story of a former member of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War who testified that Kerry personally pressured him to tell lies about military atrocities and war crimes at the group's 1971 "Winter Soldier" conference.
