New York: Harper & Row, 1964. Reprint. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 9x6x1. 1965 printing of memorial edition. Bottom corner of front jacket flap clipped. 1964 Hard Cover. 287, [1] pp. 8vo. Foreword by Robert F. Kennedy. 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."
