Faith of My Fathers

It's a biography, what can I say. I'm not much for non-fiction. I prefer my fantasy worlds. All in all, it helped me to understand a lot more about our men in uniform.

Boring...couldn't get into it and I like McCain!

Inspiring stuff. You can't help but respect the guy. No matter who wins the next election -- McCain or Obama --- the US is going to have a President with substance and character. And not a moment too soon.

A completely engaging book, and one can't help but apprecaite and respect John McCain's experiences after reading this memoir. Whatever his politics may be as he's running for president, this book is highly recommended for anyone who would like to get an insight into McCain's wild youth and his subsequent maturing during his POW experience.As the title says, this book deals...more

A completely engaging book, and one can't help but apprecaite and respect John McCain's experiences after reading this memoir. Whatever his politics may be as he's running for president, this book is highly recommended for anyone who would like to get an insight into McCain's wild youth and his subsequent maturing during his POW experience.As the title says, this book deals significantly with the history and character of McCain's grandfather and father, who were both career Navy admirals, and uses their lives an influences upon John McCain III (the one we all know) and how they shaped his life and character. The book ends with McCain's release from Vietnam, and does not indulge at all in his post-war political life at all, and as such, it is a very well written and refreshingly candid. The book does not shy away from saying what he thinks and indeed, in the tradition of honourable men, even diiscusses and his own mistakes, highlighting McCain's sincerity and honesty.   hide

Great book to get a feel for the things that made John McCain who he is today -- hopefully the next president!

AWESOME book. Makes you think about who you really want running your country:)

Really good insight into his life. Read it before this whole presidential thing came about.

Read it a while ago. Inspiring. Will re-read it before the election.

LtCdr John McCain suffered brutally at the hands of the Vietnamese during his 5-1/2 year captivity at the "Hanoi Hilton". This stirring biography manifests Sen. McCain's mantra of "Country First." Highly recommended.
