約翰·F.肯尼迪,美國第三十五任總統,畢業於哈佛大學,1963年在德剋薩斯州被刺殺成為如林肯般的“殉道總統”。
<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>

評分十一國慶期間,當國人開始迎來長假時,美國政府也與時俱進地開始瞭休息,等到國人們帶著疲憊的旅行皮囊迴到工作崗位時,美國政府還在休息。於是連國人也憤怒瞭,你丫的鬧內訌,搞得我們連林肯雕像都看不成,能不能不要鬧?!但問題是,民主黨和共和黨自顧自地玩起瞭政治遊戲。 ...
評分美國政治逐漸走上平庸,沒有當初先賢篳路藍縷草創基業時驚心動魄的一幕幕。於平常人而言,這是好事。但要是這書讀書,卻太乏味。 美國政治概況,有很多書已經介紹過瞭,就像《憲政曆程》《民主的細節》,還有琳達的一係列。不過單就某一段任期寫一本,還真是第一次看。大概就像...
