NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Senator John McCain’s deeply moving memoir is the story of three generations of warriors and the ways that sons are shaped and enriched by their fathers.

John McCain’s grandfather, a four-star admiral and one of the navy’s greatest commanders, led the strongest aircraft carrier force of the Third Fleet during World War II. McCain’s father, also a four-star admiral, served as commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific during the Vietnam War.

It was in Vietnam that John McCain III faced the most difficult challenge of his life. A naval aviator, he was shot down over Hanoi in 1967. Recognized as the son of a top commander, McCain was tortured and imprisoned for five and a half years. Despite this, he refused Vietnamese offers of an early release. What McCain learned from his grandfather and father enabled him to survive those hard years.

A testament to the power of human endurance,
Faith of My Fathers is the story of three men who fought for their country with courage and emerged with their honor intact.

Praise for Faith of My Fathers

“A thoughtful first-person take on survival, both physical and psychological . . . hard to top and impossible to read without being moved.”
USA Today
 
“A candid, moving, and entertaining memoir . . . impressive and inspiring, the story of a man touched and molded by fire who loved and served his country in a time of great trouble, suffering, and challenge.”
Kirkus Reviews
 
“A serious, utterly gripping account of faith, fathers, and the military.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
 
Faith of My Fathers may also appeal to those who flocked to Saving Private Ryan and kept Brokaw's The Greatest Generation near the top of the bestseller lists.”Library Journal
 
Faith of My Fathers is the powerful story of a war hero. In it we learn much of what matters most. As prisoner (and later Senator) McCain instructs us: Glory is not an end in itself, but rather a reward for valor and faith. And the greatest freedom and human fulfillment comes from engaging in a noble enterprise larger than oneself. Faith of My Fathers teaches deep truths that are valid in any age but that warrant special attention in our own.”—William J. Bennett

    The pain and suffering endured by US military aircrew (and others) held in North Vietnam's infamous Hanoi Hilton and other Prisoner of War camps is the backdrop to this excellent, modestly written book charting 3 generations of the McCain family who all held high rank in the US Navy. I would recommend it on several levels - to those interested in naval/aviation history; to philosophers, and to those inspired by human courage and fortitude. (I would also recommend Jim Stockdale's book 'A Vietnam Experience' for further tales of courage in the face of inhuman barbarism.)

    5.0 out of 5 stars John McCain's Autobiography
    Reviewed in the United States on 22 October 2008

    In this presidential election year of 2008, it is imperative to read books written by the candidates in order to assess strengths and weaknesses. I have lived thru more than 16 presidential elections, heard promises that were never kept, suffered thru wars, recessions, triumphs and terrorist attacks on our soil. Before I vote as an independent, I intend to do a lot of research.

    I have read memoirs by both candidates, listened to their speeches, looked at body language, and am trying to form a fair and balanced opinion.

    In this honest autobiography by the maverick, Senator John McCain, a former Naval aviator and prisoner of war for more than five years in Vietnam, I discovered why this man feels he is capable of leading our country. He reveals amazing stories about his famous grandfather and his father and their considerable contributions as navy commanders in world wars and also Vietnam and Korea. He explains his desire to honor their heroic deeds and values.

    The McCain family has a long military history. You will read about life in the naval academy in Annapolis over the decades, and how officers are trained and about McCains in leadership and combat roles. John McCain was shot down during the Vietnam war and placed in solitary confinement,was tortured and in intense pain, even near death, yet he remembered the courage and committment of his father and grandfather McCain and vowed to honor them with his patriotism.

    Only in this book can you really discover the worldview of a McCain. The book is riveting and filled with information about war and courage under fire. McCain describes his shortcomings,temper and outrage at injustice during his first thirty-four years. He never portrays himself as a hero. You will read about the Vietnam war from a different perspective.

    Read this book not for inspiration, but to increase your knowledge, no matter who you vote for. See what motivates John McCain today. He has lived a life of adventure, service to his country in the Senate, and been unafraid to speak his mind. Before I cast my vote tho, I have decided to read his sequel to this book to see if he has made changes in his temperment.
