In, My Dad, John McCain, we learn the story of Senator John McCain's life up to the time he is named the Republican Presidential Nomination for the 2008 elections. Written by his daughter, Meghan, we get a deeper look inside McCain's military past, his time captured as a prisoner of war, his transition into politics and his journey to becoming president.
This would have been an excellent book to have read upon the 2008 Presidential elections because it would have given the students a good insight into one of the candidates, but I think it is also a good book to read when learning about politics and even the military. After reading this book I would have my students create a biography for someone they know and also have them create a campaign poster for that person and why they think that person would make a great leader in the style Meghan did for her
