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
评分美国先父的卓见和理念,总是能撼动我心。

约翰·F.肯尼迪,美国第三十五任总统,毕业于哈佛大学,1963年在德克萨斯州被刺杀成为如林肯般的“殉道总统”。
<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>
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...
评分相对于自由、民主、博爱这些知识分子们所熟知的东西,理性是美国历代政治思想家一再重申并加以践行的信条。因为,政治信仰中如果没有理性,则一切都将沦为空谈的辞令或虚伪的概念。《肯尼迪:信仰在风中飘扬》一书中所提及的人物与事件,无疑都是理性主义的注脚。 《信...
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...
