Profiles in Courage By J.F.K

Books are made to be read, they are full of words, hidden themes, and life lessons. This book will make you cringe at the decisions these men made, it will unveil hidden life lessons, and give you philosophies you will use the rest of your life. If you have even wanted a book that made you stay up all night and read it, this book is for you. A book that you go to sleep and you are thinking to yourself why did that guy chose the hard path, when the easy path was already paved for him. This book was written by ex president John F. Kennedy. He wrote this book, so it would be relative to how he held office. In my opinion this book was very slow, and took some time to read, and really get the moral of his statements. If you did not know anything about politics and how our government works, then you would not get the morals of the book. One of the men that he talks about is president Roosevelt. This story really stuck with me, because it showed the true courage of men that will risk there jobs, dignity, and popularity if they were wrong. This section of the book was very well written, it had me glued to the pages, I wanted to know if he would be right or wrong in his courageous decision to go against the grain. I would recommend this book to anyone who liked learning about how our countries government was shaped through out history. If you are looking to go into any post of the government you have to read this book. I believe if all of our government leaders and representatives were like the men show in this book, out government would function much better.
