PROFILES IN COURAGE by John F. Kennedy
Foreword by Robert F. Kennedy

During 1954-55. John F. Kennedy -then a U.S. Senator- chose eight of his historical collegues to profile for their acts of astounding integrity in the face of overwhelming opposition. These heroes include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benson and Robert A. Taft. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1956, 'Profile in Courages' resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues and is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit. It is -as Robert Kennedy states in the foreword- "nont just stories of the past but a book of hope and confidence for the future. What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us".
