PHOENIX — A forthcoming memoir from Sen. John McCain promises to hold “nothing back” and “no-holds-barred opinions on the current developments coming out of Washington” under President Trump.

The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations is set for publication May 22 and will cover McCain’s unsuccessful presidential campaign a decade ago and his time in the Senate during the administrations of presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

McCain and Trump have had a notoriously rocky relationship since Trump first emerged as a Republican presidential contender in 2015. Since Trump moved into the Oval Office last year, McCain has remained one of his most high-profile Republican critics.

July 11, 2015: Trump appeared at a rally at the Phoenix Convention Center. “We have incompetent politicians, not only the president,” Trump told the crowd. “I mean, right here, in your own state, you have John McCain.” The pro-Trump audience booed the mention of McCain’s name. After the event, Trump hammered McCain some more. “I’ve supported John McCain, but he’s very weak on immigration,” Trump said. “… If the right person runs against John McCain, he will lose.”

“McCain shares his experiences during the divisive 2016 election and his no-holds-barred opinions on the current developments coming out of Washington,” according to advance publicity from his publisher, Simon Schuster. “He also discusses the vital challenges from abroad: Russia, NATO, the campaign to defeat ISIS, our ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, among others. Candid, pragmatic, and always fascinating, John McCain holds nothing back in his latest memoir.”

McCain, 81, is serving his sixth term as a Republican senator from Arizona. Since July, he has been battling a deadly form of brain cancer called glioblastoma. He has not been in Washington, D.C., since late last year and the timing of his return to the Senate is unknown. His office has not released an official update on McCain’s health since Dec. 17.
