About this audiobook
John McCain, the U.S. Senator and war hero, was known for his maverick spirit, dedication to public service, and commitment to bipartisan collaboration. Born in 1936 at the Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone, McCain followed his family's military tradition, becoming a naval aviator. This biography details his harrowing experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam for over five years, where he endured torture yet refused early release without his fellow prisoners. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982 and the Senate in 1986, McCain championed issues like campaign finance reform, national security, and veterans' affairs. His bids for the presidency showcased his dedication to principles over party politics. This book explores his personal trials, legislative accomplishments, and legacy as a statesman who put country above self, leaving an indelible mark on American politics.
