Is this the book going for over $100 on ebay because the DNC is trying to
buy
them all up? Apparently, in the book, Kerry talks about not getting his
deferment either. Seems Kerry tried to be like Dick Cheney, but was turned
down.

Different book, according to the article I read which excerpted his
comments. This was from some kind of compendium with contributions from
various Vietnam veterans. But hey, if you are looking for Kerry
contradictions in regards to his Vietnam service, look no further than David
Brinkley's "Tour of Duty', which was commissioned by Kerry himself
(something he is likely now regretting if he has any sense at all) and which
used his own personal journals as a primary source. In that book he actually
provides evidence *supporting* a couple of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
accusations (i.e., he claims at one point that he had not been under enemy
fire on the date which he received his first Purple Heart, and his journal
entry from his *last* mission indicates he really wondered what it was like
on the other side of the Cambodian border--which kind of brings into
question that bit that was supposedly "seared" into his memory...). The book
you are referring to is the one that featured more of his "Vietnam vets are
war criminals" crap, IIRC, and which apparently his tribe has indeed gone to
great lengths to make unavailable whenever possible.
