Tour of Duty condensed

Slate's Chris Suellentrop worries that readers may "unwisely be wondering if civic duty demands that they wade through Tour of Duty," Douglas Brinkley's account of John Kerry's "Vietnam War odyssey." Suellentrop observes that reading the book is "a long slog" and has therefore itemized all you need to know about Kerry that can be gleaned from the book "as a public service." Suellentrop's contribution to public service is "The condensed John Kerry."
