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.
