Senator John McCain learned about life and honor from his grandfather and father, both four-star admirals in the U.S. Navy. Faith of My Fathers is about how their lessons enabled McCain to survive the greatest challenge of his life—when, as a naval aviator, he was shot down over Hanoi in 1967, seriously wounded, and imprisoned for more than five years. Told with humility, grace, and humor, it is a story of three imperfect men who faced adversity—and emerged with their honor intact.

“Courage,” Winston Churchill explained, is “the first of human qualities . . . because it guarantees all the others.” As a naval officer, P.O.W., and one of America’s most admired political leaders, John McCain has seen countless acts of bravery and self-sacrifice. Now, in this inspiring meditation on courage, he shares his most cherished stories of ordinary individuals who have risked everything to defend the people and principles they hold most dear.“We are taught to understand, correctly, that courage is not the absence of fear but the capacity for action despite our fears,”

John McCain is one of the most admired leaders in the United States government, but his deeply felt memoir of family and war is not a political one and ends before his election to Congress. With candor and ennobling power, McCain tells a story that, in the words of Newsweek, "makes the other presidential candidates look like pygmies." John McCain learned about life and honor from his grandfather and father, both four-star admirals in the U.S. Navy. This is a memoir about their lives, their heroism, and the ways that sons are shaped and enriched by their fathers.

There is a very real need today for people to know how to approach an understanding of the numerous Acts of Parliament and other forms of legislation, including European Legislation. Neither an Act of Parliament nor European Regulations, decisions or directives can be read without reference to the special rules of interpretation that have evolved and which govern this and indeed govern legislation in all the other forms that it takes today.
