Synopsis
Senator John McCain devotes roughly one third of this multi-generational family biography to his grandfather and father, both of whom had distinguished military careers in the Pacific. McCain relates his youth and his own military career, which included serving in the Vietnam war, where he was shot down and held as a prisoner of war. McCain relates years of torture, and discusses the values and ideals instilled in him by his family. This memoir closes after McCain's release and return home in 1973.

Publisher's Note

Senator John McCain learned about life and honor from his grandfather and father, both four-star admirals in the U.S. Navy.Both their careers and their courage helped prepare McCain for the biggest challenge of his life when, as a naval aviator, he was shot down over Hanoi in 1967 and seriously injured.When his captors realized McCain's impressive military legacy, they offered him early release.In what has now become a legendary act of heroism, McCain refused the offer and was subsequently tortured, held in solitary confinement, and imprisoned for more than five years.

Faith of My Fathers is about what McCain learned from his father and grandfather, and how their example enabled him to survive.Told with humility, grace, and humor, it is a story of three imperfect men who faced adversity and emerged with their honor intact.It is a story to inspire and instruct, one that shows what fathers give to their sons, and what, ultimately, endures.

Industry reviews
"Above all, the themes of Sen. McCain's book--duty, honor, courage--are profound enough to transcend any political season and noble enough to inspire anyone who still stands to salute the flag."
Hughes 

"[A] testament to the martial values of honor and patriotism."
Bernstein
