The Pulitzer Prize winning classic by President John F. Kennedy, with an introduction by Caroline Kennedy and a foreword by Robert F. Kennedy.

Written in 1955 by the then junior senator from the state of Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage serves as a clarion call to every American.

In this book Kennedy chose eight of his historical colleagues to profile for their acts of astounding integrity in the face of overwhelming opposition. These heroes, coming from different junctures in our nation's history, include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, and Robert A. Taft.

Now, a half-century later, the book remains a moving, powerful, and relevant testament to the indomitable national spirit and an unparalleled celebration of that most noble of human virtues. It resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues and is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit. Profiles in Courage is as Robert Kennedy states in the foreword: "not just stories of the past but a book of hope and confidence for the future. What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us.

Along with vintage photographs and an extensive author biography, this book features Kennedy's correspondence about the writing project, contemporary reviews, a letter from Ernest Hemingway, and two rousing speeches from recipients of the Profile in Courage Award. Introduction by John F. Kennedy's daughter Caroline Kennedy, forward by John F. Kennedy's brother Robert F. Kennedy.

Beautiful floating shelves. Worth the price.

Love these shelves. Hanging them was incredibly simple. They came with a level to really help ensure they were straight. Directions were precise and easy to understand. Took me longer to decide where and how I wanted to place them than it did to hang them. Literally took me 5 minutes to actually hang both shelves. They are smooth, easy to dust and look amazing in all lighting. They are packaged well so I had no missing pieces and no damage. Super strong hold and I love that the bottom of each shelf has a screw to secure the bracket to the shelf so they don't fall. Where I live, that is a major plus because we have a train that comes through regularly and they haven't loosened a bit. Super pleased with this product.

Absolutely love these floating shelves. We bought three 30" and two 12". The quality exceeded my expectations. They feel incredibly solid, well-made, and high end. From the moment the package arrived, I could tell this company really cares about their product and their customers. Everything was packaged so elegantly and thoughtfully, with great attention to detail. Installation was straightforward, and once mounted, the shelves looked absolutely beautiful. What really stood out was the customer service. It was honestly some of the best I’ve experienced on Amazon. Super responsive, helpful, and genuinely caring. You can tell this is a company that takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend these shelves to anyone looking for something stylish, durable, and backed by amazing customer support

good
Size: 23.6 Inch, Color: White
I recently added this bathroom shelf, and it’s been a great upgrade for organizing my space. It was easy to install and feels sturdy enough to hold everyday essentials like toiletries, skincare products, and small containers without any issues. The design is simple and clean, which helps it blend in nicely with the rest of the bathroom. It doesn’t take up much space but still provides enough storage to reduce clutter around the sink or shower area. One thing I appreciate is how practical it is for small bathrooms—everything is within reach, and it makes the space feel more organized overall. As long as it’s installed properly, it holds up well and stays secure. The only downside is that heavier items might not be ideal depending on the material, but for regular use, it does the job perfectly. Overall, a functional and affordable solution if you’re looking to add extra storage and keep your bathroom tidy.
