A review by jonscott9
Faith of My Fathers by John McCain, Mark Salter

4.0

This sharp, moving memoir is worth the read. McCain chronicles his years as a prisoner of war in Hanoi during the Vietnam War, and that's the most engaging part of this book. His father and grandfather were both four-star Navy generals, and McCain's affinity for the military life shines through. (It really is an interesting culture.) This is a solid read to learn more backstory of the two-time presidential contender's life, and he's of course not preachy about his politics. I admire him for his courage and resolve, and for being a man of principle.
