A review by rheren
Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy

4.0

I saw this recommended somewhere, and had the chance to get the book for free from a library book sale, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was pretty interesting, had an interesting angle and talked about some parts of American history that I really didn't know much about. JFK's perspective on courage and reflections on it were a little all over the place, confusing even at times, but I think I see what he was going for. Courage means different things at different times in different situations. Most of these men showed courage by not doing what their constituency wanted them to do, which is an intriguing position for a politician to take, but I can respect it.
