This reissue of the penetrating biography of Senator John
McCain, the man who may be the next president of the United
States, by celebrated author Robert Timberg now has a new
foreword that updates readers on the politician's life
since this book's original publication in 1999. In John
McCain: An American Odyssey, Timberg provides a riveting
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 in Vietnam, where the North Vietnamese
held him prisoner for five and a half years. Most
important, the author illuminates Senator McCain's postwar
evolution into one of our country's most distinguished
politicians and a formidable presidential candidate. This
biography probes deeply into the life of this hugely
colorful, straight-talking American original. It is a rich
and captivating portrait of one of America's most
fascinating and provocative public figures -- a man who has
captured the imagination of millions of Americans and who
will continue to be a most prominent figure in the American
political landscape.
