John Kerry
‘The war hero, senator, secretary of state and presidential candidate has plenty to write about – and to be right about’ The Guardian
'Frank, thoughtful and clearly written … What lingers are not the parts but the whole; not the life, but the man' New York Times
'Draws back the curtain on a life you thought you knew, but turns out to be a bit different … surprisingly personal’ Washington Post
Every Day Is Extra is John Kerry’s personal story. The title comes from a saying he and his buddies had in Vietnam. A child of privilege, Kerry went to private schools and Yale, then enlisted in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. He commanded river patrols and was highly decorated, but he discovered that the truth about what was happening in Vietnam was different from what the government was reporting. He returned home disillusioned, became active against the war, and testified in Congress as a 27-year-old veteran who opposed the war.
In 2004 he ran for president against the incumbent, George W. Bush and came within one state of winning. In Every Day Is Extra he explains why he chose not to contest widespread voting irregularities in Ohio, fearing that after the 2000 election went to the U.S. Supreme Court, another challenge would undermine confidence in the voting system.
Kerry returned to the Senate, endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in 2008, and when Clinton resigned in 2012 to run for the presidency, Kerry was confirmed as Secretary of State. In that position he tried – and like all his predecessors, failed – to find peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (he is critical of both sides but especially Prime Minister Netanyahu); dealt with the Syrian civil war and the rise of ISIS; negotiated the Iran nuclear deal; and signed the Paris climate accord.
Readers of this book, whatever their political persuasion, will come away grateful that we have public servants who are prepared to spend their lives in service to their country. They will also come away with a new appreciation of John Kerry, a man often portrayed as aloof and stiff, but as this book reveals, funny, warm, and dedicated.

批評家のレビュー
'Every Day Is Extra offers a detailed record of an important life . . . it is frank, thoughtful and clearly written . . . What lingers are not the parts but the whole; not the life, but the man. . . A bittersweet reminder of what the country once demanded of its leaders.' (Gideon Rose)
'In these pages Kerry shows remarkable honesty, depth, even spirituality . . . There is remarkable poignancy — not the usual currency of the career politician and the country’s top diplomat.' (David M. Shribman)
'The strength of Kerry’s memoir is that it draws back the curtain on a life you thought you knew, but turns out to be a bit different . . . A surprisingly personal book.' (David Ignatius)
'The difference between memoir and autobiography can be fuzzy, but Every Day Is Extra . . . has both the reflective candor of the former and the painstaking, chronological detail of the latter.'
'Fine reading for politics junkies, especially those with an interest in how policy is made . . . A smart look at not just [Kerry's] life, but also our times.'
'[A] fine memoir . . . This book reveals a man of quiet, passionate patriotism, immense intelligence, and thoughtfulness.'
'The war hero, senator, secretary of state and presidential candidate has plenty to write about – and to be right about.'
‘Kerry saw US power much as he saw his own privilege: as a call to service. His memoir gives a comprehensive and, in places, moving account of his response to that call. People disagree over the wisdom and effectiveness of US foreign policy in the Kerry years, but there can be no serious dispute about the integrity and patriotism that Kerry brought to the job.’
