According to the following Reuters article, B&N do not have an agenda:

However, the following statement was on their website where they listed the book:

Adding to the outcrop of politically charged manifestos in the 2004 election campaign, this highly controversial tome trumpets a very specific agenda: discrediting the military record of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War. The book, written by longtime Kerry adversary and fellow Vietnam Navy vet John O'Neill -- who interviewed Navy men who served concurrently with Kerry on other Swift Boats -- charges Kerry acted irresponsibly in combat, did not deserve his medals, and betrayed Vietnam vets with antiwar activities. These claims have generated a huge maelstrom of countercharges and news reports over assertions that none of the damning testimony comes from men who actually served on the Swift Boat commanded by Kerry and that O'Neill dismiss the many laudatory accounts from the men who served under Kerry's command. Amid this swirl of charges and countercharges, one thing seems certain: This inflammatory book is sure to generate a firestorm of publicity.

And, this may have been said already, but Amazon has a shipping wait of 1-2 months...
