Profiles in Courage
During 1954-1955, John F. Kennedy, then a U.S. Senator, chose eight of his historical colleagues to profile for their acts of astounding integrity in the face of overwhelming opposition. These heroes include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Bensor, and Robert A. Taft
This book tells the stories of men who in their own time recognized what needed to be done--and didit.President Kennedy was fond of quoting Dante that “the hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in a time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1956. Profiles in Courage resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of the virtues and is a powerful reminder of the strenght of the human spirit. It is , as Robert Kennedy states in the foreword, “ not 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.
