	"Tour of Duty" by Douglas Brinkley - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Late in "Tour of Duty," Douglas Brinkley's account of John Kerry's experience of the Vietnam War, the author describes a 1971 fundraiser for Vietnam Veterans Against the War held in the posh Washington neighborhood of Georgetown.
		Brinkley writes that throughout his testimony Kerry maintained "a dignified calm," although he also describes the 27-year-old as "impassioned." Certainly no one could impugn the relatively clean-cut veteran's courage or patriotism.
		Brinkley's descriptions of the "brown water," or riverine, warfare practiced in the delta are the most interesting passages in the book (although that's not saying much).

	Amy Ridenour's National Center Blog: Douglas Brinkley: Inconvenient History
		Douglas Brinkley (the one who appears on cable shows with the title "historian") complains in the Washington Post that "the right has hijacked the word 'freedom' from the progressive movement."
		Think of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms," Brinkley said, or the "Freedom Rides" into the segregated South during the civil rights struggle of the 1960s, or the "freedom movement" to end the Vietnam War in the same period.
		But Brinkley, whose book on John Kerry's Vietnam service, "Tour of Duty," became grist for a conservative attack on the Democratic candidate during the presidential campaign, says conservatives have given the word a different spin.

		Brinkley's book, drawn primarily from Kerry's extensive journals and letters from the period, depicts a young naval officer who displayed unflinching courage, even as he agonized over the war's morality.
		Brinkley has made corrections and revisions to the paperback version, he said, but most of those are minor, spelling errors and the like.
		A new introduction includes a fuller version of the Rassmann story; Brinkley said that Kerry couldn't recall the spelling of Rassmann's last name during their interviews, and the historian was unable to locate the Green Beret before his deadline.

		Brinkley gives a thorough account of Parks's political life in the South and in Detroit (where she moved in 1957 to escape death threats), capturing her majestic personal dignity.
		His subject is now a frail octogenarian, but Brinkley conveys the power of her legacy in a moving final scene when Nelson Mandela, just four months out of a South African jail in 1990, embraces Parks as a comrade and a beloved mentor.
		Brinkley's breathtaking research and literary skill are combined in this book to produce a narrative that not only vividly paints the story of Rosa Parks' life, but that also illuminates the complexities of the Civil Rights Movement of which she was an important part.

	What Douglas Brinkley's Portrait of John Kerry Reveals (About Brinkley and About Kerry)
		Though Brinkley is himself director of the Eisenhower Center at the University of New Orleans, you are much more likely to find a presidential historian lecturing from behind a desk at Jim Lehrer U. or Charlie Rose Tech than from the podium of a classroom filled with real students.
		Brinkley is loath to say anything critical of Kerry, but every once in a while the cat slips out of the bag anyway, purring suggestively.
		Brinkley spends a single paragraph on the medal-throwing, for example, and though he dedicates many pages to Kerry's courtship of his first wife, he mentions their divorce in a single phrase.

	Beatrice.com: Getting Mad on Douglas Brinkley's Behalf
		Now, I'll admit that my perspective here is subjective: I've been an admirer of Brinkley's work for years (since 1998) and, in fact, I interviewed him earlier this year about the Kerry bio...I'd show you that if I could, but it was for PW, so it's behind a subscriber's curtain.
		These veterans have long been scorned as self-pitying losers, but Brinkley deflates that myth with his accounts of their combat experience, especially when it comes to the swift boat campaigns.
		It's hardly surprising that the vets would get shafted like this, of course, considering that most conservative leaders did everything they could to avoid associating themselves with the military when the war was actually on and have a less-than-impressive track record when it comes to veterans rights and benefits voting issues.

		Brinkley told the Atlantic magazine, which excerpted a portion of the book, that he interviewed "every single one" of John Kerry's crewmates on the so-called swift boats that Kerry captained in Vietnam.

		Gerhart then notes that Brinkley claims "he was unable to locate and interview Stephen Gardner, the lone member of Kerry's Swift boat crew who claims that the senator lied about his combat experience." Gerhart leaves it at that without noting that our mentor Hugh Hewitt has recently interviewed Gardner live on-air.
		Gerhart leaves it at that, coincidentally noting in the following paragraph that "Brinkley considers himself a serioius historian..." I'm sure he does, in roughly the same way that Gerhart considers herself to be a serious journalist and the Post considers itself to be a serious newspaper.

		Brinkley's book--basically an authorized account of Kerry's life through the early 1970s--portrays Hoffmann as a shameful villain who represented everything Kerry despised about the military and Vietnam.
		But the call was no shock, because Brinkley already had phoned Hoffmann, after hearing that the admiral was telling fellow swift-boat veterans that Brinkley's account contained numerous distortions and errors.
		Brinkley devotes just a few sentences to this controversial episode; the rest of the time he's busy hailing the young Kerry's marvelous potential.

		Brinkley is a professor of history at the University of New Orleans, a state funded university that receives enormous amounts of federal dollars, courtesy of John Breaux and Mary Landrieu.
		Brinkley was also the hack who plagairized another author, submitted the work to Ambrose as original work which Amborse included in one of his last novels.
		Here is our problem: We know John O`Neill is an honest and honorable man and Brinkley is little more than a democrat operative and con man. Yet, since liberals write the history books, O`Neill will be branded as the dirty trickster whose unfair tactics and distortions led to the demise of their hero, John Kerry.
