Bookplate of McCain on front end page. Clean, unmarked pages. "John Sidney McCain (1936-2018) was a U.S. senator who was the Republican Party's nominee for president in 2008 but was defeated by Barack Obama. McCain represented Arizona in the U.S. House of Representatives (1983-87) before being elected to the U.S. Senate (1987-2018). Although a self-described conservative 'foot soldier in the Reagan revolution,' McCain clashed with his party's right wing on a wide range of issues. Long a favorite of reporters, who admired what they saw as his directness, he garnered a reputation as a political maverick. In 1967, during the Vietnam War, McCain was nearly killed in a severe accidental fire aboard the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal, then on active duty in the Gulf of Tonkin. Later that year McCain's plane was shot down over Hanoi, and, badly injured, he was captured by the North Vietnamese. In captivity he endured torture and years of solitary confinement. When his father was named commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific in 1968, the North Vietnamese, as a propaganda ploy, offered early release to the younger McCain, but he refused unless every American captured before him was also freed. Finally released in 1973, he received a hero's welcome home as well as numerous service awards, including the Silver Star and the Legion of Merit.".
