Abstract

Inspired by John F. Kennedy's 1955 Profiles in Courage, Thomas J. Whalen's most recent book narrows its focus to nine politically challenging and defining conflicts in the history of the American presidency. A Higher Purpose: Profiles in Presidential Courage clearly depicts the events surrounding these presidential actions, whereas one of the work's subjects Andrew Jackson once remarked that "one man with courage makes a majority."
