Courage Marks the Spot
by Daisy Maryles -- Publishers Weekly, 5/3/2004
Arizona Sen. John McCain's two bestselling memoirs written with Mark Salter, Faith of My Fathers and Worth the Fighting For, chronicle his Vietnam War experiences and his many years as a prisoner of war. His new bestseller, Why Courage Matters: The Way to a Braver Life (also written with Salter), features stories of both well-known and ordinary people who, in his words, "are the best examples of what it means to triumph over adversity." Reviews have been very good, including PW's: "These compelling life stories stand up against the best passages of McCain's previous works." After six trips to press, Random House reports more than 100,000 copies in print.
