Synopsis

From a large field of Democrats, John Kerry of Massachusetts has emerged as the front runner and the one candidate who might beat George W. Bush. He is experienced in foreign affairs, independently minded with a formidable command of the issues and a strong campaigner, known for his shrewdness, tireless energy, and extraordinary debating skills. In a time in which the nation has been asked to test its strength, he is a candidate with a heroic military record. But what drives him as a person and as a candidate? Where does his dedication to public service come from? Who is John Kerry? John Kerry: A Portrait spans the years following Vietnam up to the present. Butler has documented the return of Kerry the war hero and his subsequent leadership role in Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The photographs also cover Kerry's activities in the peace movement, his marriage to Julia Thorne and his daughters Alex and Vanessa, his early political campaigns, his marriage to Teresa Heinz, and many details of a life as colourful and interesting as that of any recent presidential candidate.
