In the summer of 1959 while still a Senator, John F. Kennedy penned his bold blue ink signature (8/10) on the title page of this copy of “Profiles In Courage”. So well received was this account of great American heroes that it earned the Pulitzer Prize in history later that year. Published by Harper & Brothers and copyrighted by JFK in 1956. The EX blue cloth cover still owns its original dustcover. One of the most important publishing ventures in history (it helped earn him the Presidential election) from one of the most important and enigmatic men of the 20th century.
