For Bulk Orders Call: 626-441-2024  Description and Reviews From The Publisher: The Pulitzer Prize-winning account of men of principle, integrity and bravery in American politics is here available in a handsome illustrated format. Eight men who served the United States Senate were selected by John F. Kennedy as models of virtue and courage under pressure. These eight men persevered in their pursuit of justice and the right path, in spite of the coercion and vilification of the majority. These heroes include Mississippi's Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar who stood up to unbounded calumny when he moved to reconcile Northern and Southern differences during the years after the Civil War, and George Norris, who, in 1910, cursaded against the strong and often dictatorial leadership of his own party. The others profiled by Kennedy are John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, Sam Houston, Edmund G. Ross, and Robert A. Taft. More than 150 full-color and black-and-white photographs, paintings, and drawings enhance this classic of American history. Reviews "It is refreshing and enlightening to have a first-rate politician write a thoughtful and persuasive book about political integrity.". —New York Times "A book that deserves reading by every American." —Springfield Republican "This book is not just the 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." —from the foreword by Robert F. Kennedy
