Written while confronting a mortal illness, McCain looks back with appreciation on his years in the Senate, his historic 2008 campaign for the presidency against Barack Obama, and his crusades on behalf of democracy and human rights in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlways the fighter, McCain attacks the spurious nationalism and political polarization afflicting American policy. He makes an impassioned case for democratic internationalism and bi-partisanship. He recalls his disagreements with several presidents, and minces no words in his objections to some of President Trump's statements and policies. At the same time, he tells stories of his most satisfying moments of public service and offers a positive vision of America that looks beyond the Trump presidency. \u003ci\u003eThe Restless Wave\u003c\/i\u003e is John McCain at his best.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSenator John McCain (1936--2018) entered the Naval Academy in June of 1954.
