Written in 1955 by the then junior senator from the state of
Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage served as a
clarion call to every American. The inspiring true accounts of
eight unsung heroic acts by American patriots at different
junctures in our nation's history, Kennedy's book became required
reading, an instant classic, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
Now, a half-century later, it remains a moving, powerful, and
relevant testament to the indomitable national spirit and an
unparalleled celebration of that most noble of human virtues.
This special "P.S." edition of Profiles in Courage commemorates
the fiftieth anniversary of the book's publication. Included in
this new edition, along with vintage photographs and an extensive
author biography, are Kennedy's correspondence about the writing
project, contemporary reviews of the book, a letter from Ernest
Hemingway, and two rousing speeches from recipients of the Profile
in Courage Award.
