Then Junior Senator John F. Kennedy from Massachusetts writes about a handful of American statesmen who, at crucial times in US history, risked their personal and public lives to do the one thing that seemed in itself right. Dramatic stories of a number of American politicians of various political and regional allegiances whose one overriding loyalty was to the US and to the right as God gave them to see it. They range from born aristocrats to selfmade men. Some are well-known, some almost forgotten (and surely forgotten today). But all of them, in the face of dreadful consequences, exhibited a special kind of greatness. These stories about them remind us sharply that there is, in addition to a courage with which men die, a courage by which men must live. MUCH NEEDED fodder for 'courage' in today's ever-trying times.
