"The most engrossing book to appear in a long time from a
presidential candidate....McCain's memoir is too good to be
dismissed as simply another campaign book. It is a serious, utterly
gripping account of faith, fathers, and the military."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Faith of My Fathers may also appeal to those who flocked to Saving
Private Ryan and kept Brokaw's The Greatest Generation near the top
of the bestseller lists." --Library Journal
"Faith of My Fathers is the powerful story of a war hero. In it we
learn much of what matters most. As prisoner (and later Senator)
McCain instructs us: Glory is not an end in itself, but rather a
reward for valor and faith. And the greatest freedom and human
fulfillment comes from engaging in a noble enterprise larger than
oneself. Faith of My Fathers teaches deep truths that are valid in
any age but that warrant special attention in our own." --William
J. Bennett
"Faith of My Fathers is a gripping story of character and courage:
character passed down from generation to generation by sterling
examples of family bonds and devotion to duty; courage that
ultimately comes from within, as John McCain learned in the brutual
prison camps of North Vietnam. This is a sobering and glorious book
that you won't be able to put down." --General Colin L. Powell
(retired)
"A candid, moving, and entertaining memoir...Impressive and
inspiring, the story of a man touched and molded by fire, who loved
and served his country in a time of great trouble, suffering, and
challenge."
--Kirkus Reviews
