John McCain, Mark Salter The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations Book

His "crusades" for democracy and human rights in Eastern Europe and the Middle East have become legendary. A brilliant political leader who went to war, spent five years in Vietnamese captivity and came back completely gray. He openly opposed Trump's presidency, took an active role in ending the war in Donbass and called Putin "worse and more dangerous and businesslike." However, what was John McCain's reasoning when he left the Senate? This memoir is the result not only of his political career, but also of deep reflections on life, family, friends, the cost of victories and the burden of defeat. This book is a cautionary tale for the Western world and at the same time a guide for anyone who has strayed from the path. It is a call to never forget democratic values and to stand up for individual freedom at a time when the shadow of dictatorship roams the world. Part memoir, part geopolitical analysis, part McCain's faith in American ideals and values; it is a moving memoir by a dedicated politician.
