Nearly half a century after then-Senator John F. Kennedy was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Profiles in Courage, the
Kennedy family continues to keep alive the tradition of
honoring selfless public service with its Profiles in
Courage Award. Now in paperback, Profiles in Courage for Our
Time pays tribute to 13 such heroes in the same spirit as
the original collection. Some of our greatest writers have
brought their formidable talents to this celebration of
modern political bravery including Michael Beschloss, Anna
Quindlen, Bob Woodward, and Marian Wright Edelman. Also
included is Caroline Kennedy's profile of the latest award
recipient, Kofi Annan. These are just a few of the
luminaries who eloquently and passionately record the
experiences of the award winners. This celebration of modern
political bravery demonstrates that heroism among today's
elected officials is as possible and inspiring as ever.
