There may never be a greater love story told than that which has transpired between John McCain and the American media over the last decade. Published accounts of the senator's life and political career have ranged from the autobiographical to the hagiographic to the merely slobbering. Meanwhile, the less-than-appealing aspects of McCain's record and character--his role in the Keating Five scandal, his explosive temper, his hypocritical crusade for campaign-finance regulation, his wholesale remaking of his politics to win over the GOP base, and his aggressive courting of the corrupt Bush money machine--are glossed over or ignored. As Senator John McCain wrenches himself inside-out in pursuit of the prize that eluded him in 2000, now is the time to look behind the war hero, behind the maverick reformer, behind the man who would be president. Journalist Ryan Sager brings to this project an investigative eye and a coolly analytical mindset to provide Republicans, Democrats and Independents a picture of the man in full before they enter the voting booth in 2008.Sager, Ryan is the author of 'Mccain ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780230600904 and ISBN 0230600905.
