<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>

评分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. But these courageous men still managed to walk away with their heads held high and their integrity intact. Only time would tell, and JFK did it for them. Finished on 2015/07/17
