"An eclectic collection of heroes...[McCain] will be remembered in a volume like this someday." The Washington Post Book World "Even the most sarcastic, ironic and world-weary among us can't help buy feel something when confronted with so many stories about people who saw virtue as its own reward. I wouldn't mind my own child reading some of these stories. I can't give McCain or Salter higher praise than that." Tampa Tribune "McCain can surprise you, and Character is Destiny surprises in the diversity of its cast." The Houston Chronicle "It is hard to imagine any other politician writing this book: a series of morality tales pitched at America's youth, built around an eclectic collection of heroes who embody a not entirely predictable set of virtues. But John McCain is not just any politician....This book is intended to inspire kids, but it will be of great interest to adults." J. Dionne Jr., The Washington Post "Uplifting...Inspiring...The lessons of these people's lives are as relevant to adults as to children." Minneapolis Star Tribune
