McCain's book--duty, honor, courage--are profound enough to transcend any political season and noble enough to inspire anyone who still stands to salute the flag." "[A] testament to the martial values of honor and patriotism." ExcerptThe academy, despite the irritating customs of plebe year and the encumbrances it placed on the individualist, was not interested in degrading my dignity. On the contrary, it had a more expansive conception of human dignity than I possessed when I arrived at its gates. The most important lesson I learned there was that to sustain my self-respect for a lifetime it would be necessary for me to have the honor of serving something greater than my self-interest. Publisher's noteIn a family memoir, the Navy veteran and U.S. senator describes the military careers of his grandfather and father, both four-star admirals, his own experiences as a POW in Vietnam, and his political career, examining the relationship between fathers and sons and how it shaped his feelings about honor. Read by John McCain. Simultaneous. AnnotationSenator and one-time presidential candidate John McCain devotes roughly one-third of this multi-generational family biography to his grandfather and father, both of whom had distinguished military careers in the Pacific. McCain describes his youth and his own military career, which included serving in the Vietnam war, where he was shot down and held as a prisoner of war, experiencing years of torture and deprivation. He also discusses the values and ideals instilled in him by his family. The memoir closes after McCain's release and return home in 1973.
