This is John McCain's opinion on many issues that America is dealing with today. It is his swan song about various topics that he wants to let the reader are important him. I thought that chapter 6 was interesting, in this chapter he deals a little about immigration. ( )

I do believe that John McCain has managed to put these two sentences together in his 'Farewell Speech' without the slightest trace of irony.

"We have helped liberate more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history. We have acquired great wealth and power in the process."

From the horse's mouth.

Because of his military service, time as a POW and his determination to go his own way, I have always admired him. This is an interesting book, written by a man who knew he was dying. I found it to be an explanation and apology for having been himself. He was an important historical figure and that alone is reason enough to read this, his last book. He was a remarkable man and as a lifelong liberal, I disagreed with him most of the time. He served his nation well. ( )

Epigraph
Eternal Father, strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
It's own appointed limits keep;
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

-- Navy Hymn
Dedication
To the people of Arizona in gratitude for the privilege of representing them in the United States Senate.

Tears welled in my eyes as I watched the old men march.
