Profiles in Courage for Our Time by Caroline Kennedy
Nearly half a century after then-Senator John F Kennedy was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for PROFILES IN COURAGE, the Kennedy family continues to keep alive the tradition of honouring selfless public service with its Profiles in Courage Award. Now in paperback, PROFILES IN COURAGE FOR OUR TIME pays tribute to 13 such heroes in the same spirit as the original collection. Writers include Michael Beschloss, Anna Quindlen, Bob Woodward and Marian Wright Edelman. Also included is Caroline Kennedy's profile of the latest award recipient, Kofi Annan. These are just a few of the luminaries who eloquently and passionately record the experiences of the award winners. This celebration of modern political bravery demonstrates that heroism among today's elected officials is as possible and inspiring as ever.
Caroline Kennedy is the author and editor of twelve New York Times bestselling books on American history, politics and poetry. She is also an attorney and diplomat who served as the United States Ambassador to Japan from 2013 to 2017, and the only surviving child of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. A graduate of Harvard University and Columbia Law School, Kennedy is active in the efforts to improve New York City public schools and serves as President of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation.
