Like Winston Churchill, John F Kennedy, and recently Gordon Brown (Courage), McCain asks the quintessential question any world leader must answer. What leads to the right decisions under stress while alone at the top? He describes defining episodes from the lives of Winston Churchill to Anwar Sadat, Ma Ellen in Liberia to first female Channel swimmer Gertrude Ederle who was the first woman to swim across the Channel and the founder of Selfridge's, examining the virtues they embodied. This inspiring book will help many understand John McCain better, as well as allow them to make better leadership decisions in their own lives.
