“A thoughtful first-person take on survival, both physical and
psychological . . . hard to top and impossible to read without
being moved.”—USA Today
“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.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A serious, utterly gripping account of faith, fathers, and the
military.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Faith of My Fathers may also appeal to those who flocked
to Saving Private Ryanand kept Brokaw's The Greatest
Generation near the top of the bestseller lists.”—Library
Journal
“Faith of My Fathers is the powerful story of a war hero. In
it we learn much of what matters most. As prisoner (and later
Senator) McCain instructs us: Glory is not an end in itself, but
rather a reward for valor and faith. And the greatest freedom and
human fulfillment comes from engaging in a noble enterprise larger
than oneself.Faith of My Fathers teaches deep truths that are
valid in any age but that warrant special attention in our
own.”—William J. Bennett
