Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - NATIONAL BESTSELLER Senator John McCain tellsthe story of his great American journey, from the U.S. Navy to his electrifying campaign for the presidency in 2000, interwoven with heartfelt portraits of the mavericks who have inspired him through the years. After five and a half years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, naval aviator John McCain returned home a changed man. Regaining his health and flight-eligibility status, he resumed his military career, commanding carrier pilots and serving as the navy s liaison to what is sometimes ironically called the world s most exclusive club, the United States Senate. Accompanying Senators John Tower and Henry Scoop Jackson on international trips, McCain began his political education in the company of two masters, leaders whose standards he would strive to maintain upon his election to the U.S. Congress. There, he learned valuable lessons in cooperation from a good-humored congressman from the other party, Morris Udall. In 1986, McCain was elected to the U.S. Senate, inheriting the seat of another role model, Barry Goldwater. During his time in public office, McCain has seen acts of principle and acts of craven self-interest. He describes both extremes in these pages, with his characteristic straight talk and humor. He writes honestly of the lowest point in his career, the Keating Five savings and loan debacle, as well as his triumphant moments his return to Vietnam and his efforts to normalize relations between the U.S. and Vietnamese governments; his fight for campaign finance reform; and his galvanizing bid for the presidency in 2000. Writes McCain: A rebel without a cause is just a punk. Whatever you re called rebel, unorthodox, nonconformist, radical it s all self-indulgence without a good cause to give your life meaning. This is the story of McCain s causes, the people who made him do it, and the meaning he found. Worth the Fighting For reminds us of what s best in America, and in ourselves.Praise for Worth the Fighting For When [John] McCain writes of people and patriotism, his pages shine with a devotion, a loving awe, that makesWorth the Fighting Forworth the shelling out for. . . .
