À propos de cet audio

THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING CLASSIC OF POLITICAL INTEGRITY

Introduction Written and Read by Caroline Kennedy; Book read by John F. Kennedy Jr.

John F. Kennedy’s enduring classic resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues—courage and patriotism—and remains a moving, powerful, and relevant testament to the indomitable American spirit

During 1954-55, Kennedy, then a junior senator from the state of Massachusetts, profiled eight American patriots, mainly United States Senators, who at crucial moments in our nation’s history, revealed a special sort of greatness: men who disregarded dreadful consequences to their public and private lives to do that one thing which seemed right in itself. They were men of various political and regional allegiances—their one overriding loyalty was to the United States.

Courage such as these men shared, Kennedy makes clear, is central to all morality—a man does what he must in spite of personal consequences—and these exciting stories suggest that, without in the least disparaging the courage with which men die, we should not overlook the true greatness adorning those acts of courage with which men must live.

As Robert F. Kennedy writes in the foreword, Profiles in Courage “is not just stories of the past but a book 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.""

JFK makes a persuasive case that politicians should be honoured for having the courage to do the right thing, as they see it to be done, especially when they understand their actions will be devastating to their careers and their reputations.

I listened to this book in December, 2019, 64 years after JFK wrote it. The book is as relevant today as ever. I think it should be on every high school syllabus in the U.S.A. but it is just as relevant to the citizens of other democracies.

Timeless!
