Senator John McCain learned about life and honor from his grandfather and father, both four-star admirals in the U.S. Navy. Both their careers and their courage helped prepare McCain for the biggest challenge of his life when, as a naval aviator, he was shot down over Hanoi in 1967 and seriously injured. When his captors realized McCain's impressive military legacy, they offered him early release. In what has now become a legendary act of heroism, McCain refused the offer and was subsequently tortured, held in solitary confinement, and imprisoned for more than five years. Faith of My Fathers is about what McCain learned from his father and grandfather, and how their example enabled him to survive. Told with humility, grace, and humor, it is a story of three imperfect men who faced adversity and emerged with their honor intact. It is a story to inspire and instruct, one that shows what fathers give to their sons, and what, ultimately, endures.

評分这是我译得比较辛苦的一本书,也是我少数在翻译过程中被感动的一本书。说是被感动,似乎太浅太做作,更确切地说,这本书给了another看世界的维度。他是军方是“右派”,在好莱坞的电影模式中,他是“阴谋”、残忍、无所不用其极等等负面形象的代言人。但我在译这本书的过程...
