Paperback. Condición: Very Good. THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING CLASSIC OF POLITICAL INTEGRITY With a foreword by Robert F. Kennedy and introduction by Caroline Kennedy John F. Kennedy's enduring classic resounds with timeless lessons on leadership and the most cherished of virtues--courage and patriotism--and remains a moving, powerful, and relevant testament to the indomitable American spirit. During 1954-55, Kennedy, then a junior senator from the state of Massachusetts, profiled eight American patriots, mainly United States Senators, who at crucial moments in our nation's history, revealed a special sort of greatness: men who, in an ultimate act of moral courage, disregarded dreadful consequences to their public and private lives to do that one thing which seemed right in itself. They were men of various political and regional allegiances--their one overriding loyalty was to the United States. Courage such as these men shared, Kennedy makes clear, is central to all morality--a man does what he must in spite of personal consequences--and these exciting stories of American history suggest that, without in the least disparaging the courage with which men die, we should not overlook the true greatness adorning those acts of courage with which men must live. As Robert F. Kennedy writes in the foreword, Profiles in Courage "is 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." This special "P.S." edition of the book commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the book's publication. It includes vintage photographs and an extensive author biography, and features 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, making it an essential volume for any fan of John F. Kennedy. What makes a leader risk everything for what they believe is right? Principled Stands: Discover the stories of eight United States Senators who, at pivotal moments, chose national interest over party loyalty and personal ambition. A Study in Leadership: Written by JFK during his own senatorial career, this book offers a unique and personal exploration of what it means to lead in times of crisis. Presidential Biography: Gain insight into the principles that guided a future president, with a foreword by Robert F. Kennedy and a new introduction by Caroline Kennedy. A Pulitzer Prize-Winning Classic: Explore the special "P.S." edition of this celebrated work, featuring vintage photographs, author correspondence, and a letter from Ernest Hemingway.…
