Notes from the Trail: Presidential Politics From the Inside Out Alexandra Kerry

Description: It has been 20 years since Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts captured the nomination of the Democratic Party for President of the United States. And throughout Kerry's noble and impassioned run against the then-incumbent Republican, George W. Bush, amid the regrettable backdrop of the intractable war in Iraq, Kerry's daughter Alexandra chronicled a campaign that was unlike any other up until that time, and put it all together into this marvelous travelogue in hardcover with dust jacket. From the dust jacket copy: "The modern race for the presidency has become a national sport. We've seen the baby-kissing, the barbecues, and the photo ops; news cameras have taken us inside Iowan living rooms leading up to the caucuses, and they've given us bird's-eye view of the grand halls of political conventions. But what is it like to be on the inside of this spectacle? What happens when the candidate is your closest family member? In his narrative and visual account of her father's bid for the presidency, Alexandra Kerry brings us inside the bubble. Her words and images lend an intimacy to our often overblown politics as she sheds light on some of the contradictions, ironies, and saving graces of our electoral process and our country." This volume is in remarkable good shape, with some very minor creases at the top of the dust jacket the only flaw. And there are tons and tons of amazing photographs.
