First edition of this inspirational continuation of John F. Kennedy’s ‘Profiles in Courage.’ Octavo, original publisher’s cloth. Boldly signed by Caroline Kennedy on the title page. Caroline Kennedy is an American author, attorney, and diplomat whose work spans literature, law, and public service. As the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, she has played a prominent role in preserving her family’s legacy through editorial projects such as ‘Profiles in Courage for Our Time,’ while also serving in key diplomatic roles, including U.S. Ambassador to Japan (2013–2017) and Australia (from 2022). Fine in a fine dust jacket. Introduced and edited by Caroline Kennedy.
Profiles in Courage for Our Time, edited by Caroline Kennedy, is a contemporary extension of her father John F. Kennedy’s 1957 Pulitzer Prize–winning work, Profiles in Courage. Published in 2002, the volume presents a series of essays written by prominent American authors and journalists honoring modern political figures—such as John Lewis, Lowell Weicker, and Hilda Solis—who have demonstrated moral courage and principled leadership in the face of adversity. By reaffirming the enduring relevance of civic bravery and ethical conviction in American public life, the book continues to reflect Caroline Kennedy’s commitment to preserving and reinterpreting her father’s legacy for a new generation.
