McCain's grandfather, a four-star admiral and one of the navy's greatest commanders, led the strongest aircraft carrier force of the Third Fleet during World War I. McCain's father, also a four-star admiral, served as commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific during the Vietnam War. It was in Vietnam that John McCain I faced the most difficult challenge of his life. A naval aviator, he was shot down over Hanoi in 1967. Recognized as the son of a top commander, McCain was tortured and imprisoned for five and a half years. Despite this, he refused Vietnamese offers of an early release. What McCain learned from his grandfather and father enabled him to survive those hard years. A testament to the power of human endurance, \u003ci\u003eFaith of My Fathers\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of three men who fought for their country with courage and emerged with their honor intact. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eFaith of My Fathers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA thoughtful first-person take on survival, both physical and psychological . . . hard to top and impossible to read without being moved.\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A candid, moving, and entertaining memoir . . . impressive and inspiring, the story of a man touched and molded by fire who loved and served his country in a time of great trouble, suffering, and challenge.\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A serious, utterly gripping account of faith, fathers, and the military.\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eFaith of My Fathers\u003c\/i\u003e may also appeal to those who flocked to \u003ci\u003eSaving Private Ryan\u003c\/i\u003e and kept Brokaw's \u003ci\u003eThe Greatest Generation\u003c\/i\u003e near the top of the bestseller lists.\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eFaith of My Fathers\u003c\/i\u003e is the powerful story of a war hero.
