The discussion will be moderated by Hudson Institute Vice President for Government Relations Dan McKivergan.
Salter served on Senator John McCain’s staff for nearly twenty years and served as his Chief of Staff from 1993 to 2008. He collaborated with the Senator on seven books, including Faith of My Fathers (1999) and Worth the Fighting For (2002). Salter will discuss his new book, which chronicles McCain’s early years as a Navy pilot and prisoner of war, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at his political career and the people and events that shaped his life.
