Profiles in Courage is a 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning volume of short biographies describing acts of bravery and integrity by eight United States Senators.  In 1954-1955, Senator John Kennedy's active role in the affairs of the nation was interrupted for the better part of a year by his convalescence from an operation to correct a disability incurred as skipper of a World War II torpedo boat. The Senator used his "idle" hours to great advantage; he rediscovered, and did intensive research into, the courage and patriotism of a handful of Americans who at crucial moments in history had 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. These men ranged from the extraordinarily colorful to the near-drab; from the born aristocrats to the self-made. They were men of various political and regional allegiance--their one overriding loyalty was to the United States and to the right as God gave them to see it.

These heroes, coming from different junctures in our nations history, include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, and Robert A. Taft.
