Memorial edition released after Kennedy's assassination. The original edition won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1957. \"In 1954-55, Senator John Kennedy's active role in the affairs of the nation was interrupted for the better part of a year by his convalescence from an operation to correct a disability incurred as skipper of a World War II torpedo boat. The Senator used his 'idle' hours to great advantage; he rediscovered, and did intensive research into, the courage and patriotism of a handful of Americans who at crucial moments in history had revealed a special sort of greatness: me who disregarded dreadful consequences to their public and private lives to do that one thing which seemed right in itself.\" CONTENTS: Foreword to the Memorial Edition by Robert F.
