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
曾经读过一些关于美国政治的书，比如《常识》等；也读过一些关于民主的书，比如刘瑜的《民主的细节》等。但是在我试读这本《肯尼迪：信仰在风中飘扬》时，之前的一些思绪被再次唤醒。罗曼·罗兰说，“从来没有人为了读书而读书，只有在书中读自己，在书中发现自己，或检...
评分作为美国总统，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...
评分读完《民主的奇迹-美国宪法制定的127天》，就接着看到了这本书。两本书结合在一起读，一种健康的的政治传承、生态和精神开始立体显现。比照这个范例，“江山是打下来的，政府是谈出来的”应成为具有普世意义的政治理念。 边看此书，边问自己，我们中国人近现代在面对这些大开大...
评分信仰，是对某种主张、主义、宗教的极度相信和尊敬，是说起来很虚的东西。但是，从比干不惧纣王剖心、伯夷叔齐不食周粟，到文天祥从容赴死、陆秀夫纵身跳海，到史可法誓不降清、谭嗣同引颈就戳，到刘胡兰、瞿秋白、董存瑞、黄继光英勇就义，却在雄辩的证明，信仰可以给人以勇气...
评分诸君现在捧在手中的，是约翰·肯尼迪的普利策图书获奖作品。约翰·肯尼迪是普利策奖1917年创办以来得此殊荣的唯一一位美国总统，尽管本书并非写于他政务繁忙而短暂的三年总统任上。酝酿此书主题时，肯尼迪进入联邦参议院不久，之前仅在地方上担任过六年州议员（马萨诸塞州），...
用户评价
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
评分既是美国历史 又是政治家传记 更是肯尼迪的政治宣言
评分看不进去，回头再看吧。
