SUMMARY:American History Book Club
DESCRIPTION:John F. Kennedy had long been interested in the topic of political courage\, beginning with his senior thesis at Harvard.  The thesis\, later published as Why England Slept\, was a study of the failure of British political leaders in the 1930s to oppose popular resistance to rearming\, leaving the country ill-prepared for World War II. \nKennedy’s election to the House in 1946 and the Senate in 1952 gave him personal experience in dealing with the conflicting pressures that legislators face. \nWhen Kennedy took a leave of absence from the Senate in 1954 to recover from back surgery\, it gave him the opportunity to study the topic of political courage. The project resulted in the publication of Profiles in Courage\, which focuses on the careers of eight United States Senators whom Kennedy felt had shown great courage under enormous pressure from their parties and their constituents. \nHis own battles with physical pain and his experiences in World War II as a PT boat commander also gave him inspiration. Profiles in Courage\, which Kennedy dedicated to his wife Jacqueline Kennedy\, received thePulitzer Prize for biography in 1957. \nCall for location of event   708-534-8635 \n
