Where to find Kerry's book: "The New Soldier" ? |
|
I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere but eBay, and they usually sell for a couple hundred $$ on eBay (ouch!). Does anyone know where I can find it - or is it something I shouldn't bother to read? Why hasn't it been published again?

1. Sounds like you know the answer to your question. |

So why are you asking it?

??
Are you saying that eBay is the only place to get it?
Why hasn't it been published again?

3. I was thinking of looking for it, too, after reading "tour of duty" |
|
and the high cost you mentioned on ebay is what I assumed so I never really pursued it. I would REALLY like to read it though.

4. If you find it, let me know... |
|
I checked my local library and it wasn't there either. I still don't know why no one has republished it. I'd think it would sell well...

5. i will see if i can do an intra-library search/loan type of thing |
|
here in CT for it.I am not sure what libraries here in CT would be included in the "system" (yale library in new haven would be nice!!) I really don't feel like spending big bucks for it. I will bookmark this thread so i can get in touch with you IF/WHEN i find anything. I am curious as hell to see this book.

6. A couple of hundred sounds cheap |
|
Bookfinder.com has copies ranging from $750 to $2500 (!) There are library catalog links at http://www.libdex.com/

Why is this book so expensive and hard to find?! The demand to get it is obviously there, otherwise it wouldn't be fetching a few hundred on eBay and "$750 to $2500" elsewhere... sounds like some publishing company can make a bundle if they sell it.
I'd like to read Kerry's book, but I don't have a few hundred $$ to spend on it. :s

No public libraries near me seem to have it, but the University library has it.

16. The segment that points out the trial of William Calley is interesting. |
|
Not from the book but here's a link about the man mentioned: http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/mylai/myl_bcalleyhtml.htmInteresting that this man was pardoned by Nixon considering what he had done.
