My Dad, John McCain is an illustrated children's book based on the life of John McCain. Written by his daughter, Meghan McCain, and published through Aladdin Paperbacks, it was released on September 2, 2008. The book's images were illustrated by Dan Andreasen. The book was intended to support John McCain's candidacy for President of the United States in 2008.
The book focuses on John McCain's United States military service and his presidential run. Although the book is aimed at children, it deals with John McCain's capture and imprisonment as a prisoner of war for five and a half years during the Vietnam War, and even depicts risqué scenes of John McCain being poked with hot iron prods as well as a man being stabbed repeatedly with a small knife by a Vietcong insurgent. For its initial pressing, over 200,000 copies were printed. The book has been described as "less a children's book than one written for wide-eyed adults with very nice drawings."
