Mccain: the Myth of a Maverick
Matt Welch
McCain is one of the most familiar, sympathetic and overexposed figures in American politics, yet his concrete governing philosophy and actual track record have been left curiously unexamined. In McCain, journalist and pundit Matt Welch offers a political portrait of a man onto whom people are forever projecting their own ideological fantasies.
