Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This Pulitzer Prize-winning classic by John F. Kennedy, with an introduction by Caroline Kennedy and a foreword by Robert F. Kennedy, was written in 1955 when Kennedy was a junior senator from Massachusetts. In this work, he profiles eight historical figures who demonstrated remarkable integrity in the face of significant opposition, including John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, and Robert A. Taft. Even after half a century, the book remains a powerful testament to the enduring national spirit and a celebration of noble virtues. It offers timeless lessons about courage and serves as a reminder of the strength of the human spirit. As Robert Kennedy notes in the foreword, it is “not just stories of the past but a book of hope and confidence for the future,” emphasizing that the fate of the country and the world relies on how we honor the legacies left by others. The edition includes vintage photographs, an extensive author biography, Kennedy's correspondence regarding the writing project, contemporary reviews, a letter from Ernest Hemingway, and two inspiring speeches from recipients of the Profile in Courage Award.
