The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations by John McCain, Mark Salter

4.0

This was my first political biography I've ever read. I'm not a political person, and usually this type of thing would bore me, but John McCain was a man that I think anyone on the political spectrum could respect. He was a true American politician, and I wish that all politicians would behave in the way in which he did. He was a man who knew his beliefs, would stick to them, but also could apologize for things he got wrong. He was a true champion of human rights, and he fought for them for his whole life.

My favorite chapter was the final chapter before the epilogue. Everyone, democrat or republican, should read it. It describes the way in which our political system should work instead of the intensely polarizing system it is today.

The epilogue was bittersweet as there are few times when someone writes an autobiography knowing that they will be dying soon. I may have shed a tear. Rest in Peace, John McCain.

Overall, it was an easy listen and I do recommend it to anyone.
