Profiles in Courage is a Pulitzer prize winning book published in 1957. One reason the book is notable is because it was instrumental in propelling first-term Senator John F Kennedy into the Presidential spotlight.
There is evidence that the book was actually ghostwritten by Kennedy's speechwriter. When asked about this Kennedy was known to bristle, and had maintained that he had written the book but had only had help.
