Based on the Memoir by John McCain and Mark Salter
People know John McCain as a maverick presidentiaI candidate, but before a life in politics, he was an honored navaI officer. While other politicians went to law school and dined at bIack-tie fundraisers, McCain's journey took him on a different course, and this is his story.
As a freshman at the NavaI Academy, young McCain takes extra razzing because he is the privileged son of a Navy captain . Made tougher by that experience, McCain is soon fIying bombing missions over Vietnam. Shot down, he becomes an inmate at the infamous prison camp, Hanoi HiIton. But beaten, starved and isolated, McCain's honor can not be taken - at any price. |
