具体描述
<blockquote>"This is a book about that most admirable of human virtues-- courage. 'Grace under pressure,' Ernest Hemingway defined it. And these are the stories of the pressures experienced by eight United States Senators and the grace with which they endured them."
-- John F. Kennedy</p></blockquote>
During 1954-1955, John F. Kennedy, then a U.S. Senator, chose eight of his historical colleagues to profile for their acts of astounding integrity in the face of overwhelming opposition. These heroes include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, and Robert A. Taft.</p>
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1957, Profiles in Courage -- now reissued in this handsome hardcover edition, featuring a new introduction by Caroline Kennedy, as well as Robert Kennedy's foreword written for the memorial edition of the volume in 1964 -- resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues and is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit. It is as Robert Kennedy states in the foreword, "not just stories of the past but a hook 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."</p>

读后感
作为美国总统，约翰•F•肯尼迪至今仍保持着几项“纪录”：1917年5月29日出生于美国马萨诸塞州的布鲁克莱恩的他在1946年—1960年期间曾先后任众议员和参议员，并于1960年当选为美国总统，成为美国历史上最年轻的当选总统，也是美国历史上首位信奉罗马天主教的总统和唯一...
评分早就听说过肯尼迪写的这本书，试问自己怎么没想起找来读读呢？(*^__^*) 上论文写作课时候学写人物传记，我写的就是肯尼迪。年轻英俊的美国前总统，文思还是不错的！ 美国政体被视为是民主体制的典范，书本上老生常谈地介绍着美国政治运作的各种机构，告诉人们这设计多么多么值...
评分美国政治逐渐走上平庸，没有当初先贤筚路蓝缕草创基业时惊心动魄的一幕幕。于平常人而言，这是好事。但要是这书读书，却太乏味。 美国政治概况，有很多书已经介绍过了，就像《宪政历程》《民主的细节》，还有琳达的一系列。不过单就某一段任期写一本，还真是第一次看。大概就像...
评分 评分本书的精要部分不是后面的各位参议员的故事，而是前言。前言中肯尼迪虽然调门太高，但是存有深意，主要有以下几层意思： 一是参议员的负责对象的多重，职责灵活。参议员要对很多对象负责，自己所属的州，自己的党派，美国国会，投票给自己的选民，全体美国人民。还有一个很重...

Having the wisdom to see both sides, to know the dire consequences, and yet went with the unpopular side anyway. Public opinion crushed their future.

评分看不进去，回头再看吧。
评分美国先父的卓见和理念，总是能撼动我心。
