How come I can never find Kerry's book The New War in stores

[JohnKleeb]

Hey all, bought the Boston Globe bio on Kerry today which means I now own that book, Brinkley's Tour of Duty, and The Candiate the author's name escapes me at the moment but Ive looked in Barnes and Nobles, Books a Million but Ive yet to find The New War, can't find it anywhere.

1. Because he's a Democrat?

:shrug:

2. heh that cant be it

Clinton's book is there, I even found Edwards' book a while back, I need to read that book.

3. You mean The New War or The New Soldier?

THE NEW WAR: THE WEB OF CRIME THAT THREATENS AMERICA'S SOCIETY is here:

ABEbooks.com

You can also find a few copies of THE NEW SOLDIER there, running from $750-2500.

On edit: Hopefully, he'll be writing THE NEW PRESIDENT a few years from now. ;-)

5. hah the new war not the new soldier

I'd love to have both but the new soldier's price range is out of my range.

4. It's being released Aug 25th.

I just checked Amazon, they are taking orders, but have the release date as Aug. 25th.

Here's the Amazon link:

I'm sure you'll also find it in the stores then too.

6. ahh its not out

I'll get it when it comes out, I got enough money for quite a few books.

7. Hmmm, it's a re-release from 1997 then

Wonder if there's any update to it in the new release?

[JohnKleeb]

13. ahh all good

good research btw, Funk is a good guy, was one of the many Kerry supporters and you yourself that got me to take a good look at the guy, havent started the book yet because I am at work but I am reading Tour of Duty right now and its excellent.
