Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The media has questioned John O'Neil's, credibility. Many news shows have insisted that Mr. Kerry's awards were well documented by the Navy and none could question their merit. Remember Jayson Blair, the NY Times writter, who was fired for writting over 30 plagerized articles. I suppose by the media's criteria everything Jayson Blair wrote, because it was in print, had to be true until he was exposed and fired. I'm uncertain that the entire truth was exposed in this well written and documented book, however, it did open my eyes. Colin Powell wrote in 1995 in his autobiography "My American Journey" about Vietnam era awards. He said, "Awards were piled on to a point where writing the justisfying citation became a minor art form." No matter what side of the fence you are on this is a must read book. At least give the majority of the Swiftboat sailors an opportunity to tell their side of the story.
