Markings on book block. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a time when political expediency too often eclipses moral conviction, Profiles in Courage stands as a timeless testament to the power of conscience over conformity. Written by John F. Kennedy — then a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts — this celebrated Pulitzer Prize-winning work chronicles eight pivotal moments in American political history, presenting the extraordinary stories of senators who risked their careers, reputations, and public standing to act upon their deepest principles, from John Quincy Adams defying his own party to Edmund Ross casting the decisive vote that saved Andrew Johnson's presidency.\n\nKennedy's prose is precise, measured, and deeply humanising, transforming the dry annals of legislative history into urgent moral drama. With a special foreword by Robert F. Kennedy, this edition adds a further layer of personal and historical resonance to an already profound text — one that argues, with quiet but irresistible force, that true courage in public life is not the absence of fear, but the will to act rightly in spite of it. For anyone who has ever wondered whether honour and politics can coexist, the answer awaits within these pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203124764891,"sku":"2026100009412-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0b750359-c653-4f3c-91aa-11214287419f.png?v=1788144675","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009412-secondhand-profiles-in-courage","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
