Book Reviews of Faith of My Fathers : A Family MemoirBook Review: If you are looking to understand the Presidential Candidate, here is where you should start. Summary: 5 Stars
If you were to go to the bookstore or search online, you can find a great deal written about John McCain. You will learn of his upbringing, his history and his record as a politician.
What you will often find lacking is a deeper understanding of the man who may be President of the United States someday.
I decided this election year to try to actually understand the people who are vying to lead our nation, and I began with McCain since he was the presumptive nominee of the Republican party.
The book is not so much a biography but a personal history of three generations of McCain men who have served in the Navy. McCain, his father and grandfather.
You will learn of the values of honor, courage, and commitment and how this unique family has chosen to live up to them. You will learn how they all chose to deal with the adverse situations in their lives and were able to place the needs of their country above their own personal desires.
All while remaining true to themselves.
A worthwhile read.
Cheers!
Book Review: An Inspiring American Story Summary: 5 Stars
John McCain's autobiography is a stirring account of perseverance and family values that is ultimately a tribute to the will of humanity to prevail. If only more fathers would give their sons the lessons that John Sr. instilled in John, our world would be a better place. If only more men had the unwavering self-confidence that John had as a POW, we could all live inspired. John McCain shows us that we can grow as people if we learn to do what's right in the end. After all, he wasn't perfect, but he learned to hold his head high and make his life as perfect as it could be with what he had. Outstanding, altogether.
Book Review: Faith of My Fathers Summary: 5 Stars
With the current political race between McCain and Obama I wanted to read as much as possible about each candidate. I enjoyed the McCain book very much and was impressed by his fascinating military background.
