John McCain comes from a military family, with both his father and grandfather having served as Admirals in the United States Nazy. John McCain gradudated from the United States Naval Academy in 1958. Most notably in his military career, McCain was shot down during a bombing mission of North Vietnam and was held as a prisoner of war for five and a half years enduring poor conditions and periods of torture. He was elected in 1982 to the United States House of Representatives, and succesfully ran for the upper body of Congress when he was elected to the Senate in 1986. Although John McCain was an unsuccessful Presidential candidate in 2000, he would have better luck in 2008 in garnering the Republican parties endorsement as their candidate.

1.0 out of 5 stars save then ten bucks, March 6, 2008

This is just a light overview of McCain's life. Save your money and read the Wikipedia article about him. It contains the same information. And this book just randomly leaves out the first letter of words. No rhyme or reason behind it. Aren't books supposed to have editors? this isn't just a one time occurrence, it is throughout the book! just poor workmanship.

3.0 out of 5 stars John Mccain, October 5, 2008

I am little surprise that for a small book it had very big letters to cover the pages. If you want a very very quick read and just the fact about McCain this book is for you.

By	ReaderWriter "ReaderWriter" (USA) - See all my reviews

John McCain is going to be the Republican nominated Presidential candidate. It is important to know all we can about the candidates, and this book is helpful in understandng his life and beliefs. I enjoyed the information on his military career and also have become more well educated on what he has accomplished as a United States Senator. I most of all enjoyed reading this book, and have shared my copy with friends.
