"John McCain is one of the most admired leaders in the United States government, but his deeply felt memoir of family and war is not a political one and ends before his election to Congress. With candor and ennobling power, McCain tells a story that, in the words of Newsweek, "makes the other presidential candidates look like pygmies. ""--BOOK JACKET. "John McCain learned about life and honor from his grandfather and father, both four-star admirals in the U. S. Navy. This is a memoir about their lives, their heroism, and the ways that sons are shaped and enriched by their fathers. "--BOOK JACKET.
