Learn all about the life of Senator John McCain in this enlightening
biography specially written for a younger audience.
Five-term Arizona senator John S. McCain's indelible mark on America was
perhaps his destiny, as his grandfather proclaimed when he was just an
infant, "This boy has the stamp of nobility on his brow."
Following both his four-star US Navy father and grandfather into
military service, McCain's naval career imprinted the code of honor he
has maintained to this day. Throughout the myriad life and death perils
he faced--most notably being held captive as a Vietnam War prisoner of
war for five and one half years in the Hoa Lo Prison or 'Hanoi
Hilton'--his courage, bravery, and tenacity has served him time and time
again: as Navy liaison to the US Senate, as a member (and then chairman)
on the Armed Services Committee, Commerce Committee, and Indian Affairs
Committee, playing a key role in restoring diplomatic relations with
Vietnam, championing finance reform by sponsoring the McCain-Feingold
Act, and as the Republican nominee for president in 2008.
Beatrice Gormley's enriching biography tells the riveting story of one
of America's last, great, enduring heroes.
