In a forthcoming e-book, a former senior adviser to Mitt Romney reserved some of his most biting criticism for a pair of top campaign aides to the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, Time Magazine reported.

Gabriel Schoenfeld, writing in his tell-all book A Bad Day On The Romney Campaign: An Insider’s Account, contended that Romney policy director Lanhee Chen “self-deprecatingly boasted” that he could not locate Finland on a map.

“Chen was no Henry Kissinger,” Schoenfeld wrote.

Meanwhile, Schoenfeld argued that top campaign adviser Stuart Stevens was more concerned with style than substance.
