read the book
I read his book about 8 years ago. I didnt know who he was. My dad had the book (Naval Academy '59 alum) and I borrowed it after reading the flap. When I was finished (I couldnt put it down) I couldnt believe someone could go thru all of that and come out a functioning person. There was a part in the book, if I remember correctly about how he was worried about his wife seeing his broken body when he came home and how he would not be the same physically. And she was in a bad car accident (while he was a pow) with permanent damage herself and was worried about the same thing when he would see her. Thats just one little glimpse of the human, the movie in no way gives his story justice. He is a fascinating, flawed real person. Go McCain, hope he wins....
