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
信仰对一个人来讲是至关重要的，甚至至关重要都不能确准的表达信仰对一个人的巨大影响，要知道人的内核是精神、是思想、是理念、是价值，这些其实都在信仰中得到体现。在我看来人本身归根到底就是意识和思想的集中，倘若没有了这些人也就不能称之为人了。 《信仰在风中飘扬》...
评分人民代表，是否就意味着一定“代表人民”？ 这话听起来像是在玩文字游戏，当然，如果仅是个文字游戏，那它也经不起太多推敲。事实却是，这四个字的背后，还贴着一个昂贵的头衔——民主。 美国的民主一直是我饶有兴趣的对象之一。有幸拜读刘瑜老师的《...
评分Profiles in Courage raised a great urge in me trying to find a soft copy, yet not easy to locate one, if there is any way accessing it, Plz let me konw.
评分十一国庆期间，当国人开始迎来长假时，美国政府也与时俱进地开始了休息，等到国人们带着疲惫的旅行皮囊回到工作岗位时，美国政府还在休息。于是连国人也愤怒了，你丫的闹内讧，搞得我们连林肯雕像都看不成，能不能不要闹？！但问题是，民主党和共和党自顾自地玩起了政治游戏。 ...
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...

评分从头到尾的民主党意识形态...
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
