About the book
"In 1998, at the dedication of the National Prisoner of War Museum in Anderson, Georgia, former Attorney General Griffin Bell, a Democrat, introduced Senator John McCain, the featured speaker and a Republican, with these words: "We often hear people now say, where are our heroes, where have all our heroes gone? Well, Senator cCain is an authentic, living American hero.""--BOOK JACKET. "So begins Robert Timberg's biography of Senator John McCain, the man who may someday be President of the United States. In John McCain: An American Odyssey, Timberg provides an account of McCain's remarkable life - from his rambunctious childhood and his madcap escapades as a U.S. Naval Academy midshipman to his grim experiences as a combat pilot and POW prisoner in Vietnam, where he was held prisoner by the North Vietnamese for five and a half years. Most importantly, the author illuminates Senator McCain's postwar evolution into one of our country's most distinguished political leaders and a formidable presidential candidate."--BOOK JACKET.
