John McCain is at the forefront of a large movement of people who are dissatisfied with the political parties, with conventional politicians, and are eager for reform. McCain has shown that he knows how to appeal to the public's better nature. He has understood that there was a more civic-minded streak in the public that more conventional politicians have recognized and appealed to. Since his presidential campaign, he broadened his agenda, as he has sought to restore our faith in politics and to offer young people reason to participate. In the days since September 11th, he has been one of the most consistently sought-after voices. Citizen McCain is an up-close look into this senator's actions on the Hill--showing his surprisingly shrewd strategies and capturing his candid comments--as he tried to move the campaign-finance reform bill through the Senate and the House, and how in the aftermath of tragedy he offered the country leadership at a time of crisis. And it is an intimate look at an extraordinary American hero.Drew, Elizabeth is the author of 'Citizen McCain' with ISBN 9780743230025 and ISBN 0743230027.
