      abstract = {John Kerry tells the story of his remarkable American life  -- from son of a diplomat to decorated Vietnam veteran,  five-term United States senator, 2004 Democratic  presidential nominee and secretary of state. A Yale  graduate, Kerry enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1966 and  served in Vietnam. He returned home highly decorated but  disillusioned, and testified powerfully before Congress as  a young veteran opposed to the war. Kerry served as a  prosecutor in Massachusetts, then as lieutenant governor,  and was elected to the Senate in 1984, eventually serving  five terms. In 2004, he was the Democratic presidential  nominee and came within one state -- Ohio -- of winning.  Kerry returned to the Senate, chaired the important Foreign  Relations Committee and succeeded Hillary Clinton as  secretary of state in 2013. In that position he tried to  find peace in the Middle East, dealt with the Syrian civil  war while combating ISIS, and negotiated the Iran nuclear  deal and the Paris climate agreement. Kerry tells stories  about colleagues Ted Kennedy and John McCain, as well as  President Obama and other major figures. He writes of  recovering his faith while in the Senate, and deplores the  hyper-partisanship that has infected Washington.},
