The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations is a 2018 book by American politician John McCain and his frequent collaborator and former staff member Mark Salter. It is a personal memoir looking at McCain's last ten years or so in the Senate, and his 2008 campaign for the presidency against Barack Obama.[1] As such it is the final volume of an autobiographical trilogy that also comprises Faith of My Fathers (1999) and Worth the Fighting For (2002).[2] It also covers his work on behalf of democracy and human rights in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.[1][3][4][5] The work's title comes from the second line of the naval hymn "Eternal Father, Strong to Save",[1] reflecting McCain's career as a naval aviator. It contains 10 chapters including Arab Spring and Regular order.
