"Senator Lindsey Graham once described his friend John McCain as someone who would 'run across the street to get in a good fight.' McCain's final battle came straight to him. I'm not talking about the one against brain cancer...I'm talking about the one against Donald Trump. He wages it in a forthcoming book, The Restless Wave...McCain has always believed, to his core, in sacrifice, honor and allegiance to something larger than oneself...Such grace is unimaginable from Trump. That's why it's so vital that McCain is using his waning time to model it." --Frank Bruni, The New York Times
"You can see McCain in this book struggling to reconcile himself to what his Republican Party has largely become...The six-term senator from Arizona slips in a few careful mentions of Donald J. Trump, and expresses concern about the rancor that has overtaken the country...He consistently returns again and again to what seems for him to be a core commitment: a fervent belief in American exceptionalism...his faith in his country's beneficence remains undimmed." --Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times
"In what may be his final public act, John McCain this month will publish a book that bequeaths us a rare gift....the volume does not burden us with a lot of high-minded advice based on lessons learned, nor does it pull us down into treacly memoir. McCain is still very much McCain....What he does offer, though, at this peculiar moment of our history, is far more precious: a reminder of the values and principles that our nation has long stood for, and a spur to us to recover from this unhealthy interlude and stand for them again. Without preaching, instead by recounting stories of battles won and (often) lost, McCain unspools something akin to a self-help manual for a country that has, at least for the moment, lost its way." --Fred Hiatt, The Washington Post
"It should be required reading for anyone who wants to lead in a democracy." --Senator Lindsey Graham, The New York Times
#1 New York Times Bestseller
"History matters to McCain, and for him America is and was about its promise. The book is his farewell address, a mixture of the personal and the political. 'I have loved my life, ' he writes. 'All of it.' The Restless Wave is a fitting valedictory for a man who seldom backed down." --The Guardian (US)
