  • Gareth Stevens Pub
    Honor, country, and service have always been important to John McCain. His grandfather was an admiral in the U.S. Navy. So was his father. As a Navy pilot, John was wounded in Vietnam and survived five terrible years as a prisoner of war. After becoming a U.S. senator in Arizona, McCain rose to the top of the political world. In 2008, he ran for the country’s top job—president.
