"It took me nearly a year to read this book becase I did not particularly enjoy it. I believe in finishing what you start though and actually did not finish the book I had started to read prior to this one. I did learn a lot about history and the "movers & shakers" of recent political history which was interesting but I'm glad to be moving on to a more entertaining book."
"The "profiles" in this update to JFK's classic, are varied in both their subjects and their presentation. These accounts are not uniform in quality. Most stirring are those with a personal flavor such as Bob Woodward's profile of Gerald Ford, wherein we see a hidden profile of Woodward as well. However, others seem either too detached or tediously narrative, such as Michael Daly's "The Irish Peacemakers" which outlines the alphabet soup of the political/religious strife in Ireland, but does little to connect the overall themes of courage to anything outside the situation.
It is a good read, but not all the selections hold interest. I'd recommend particular excerpts for good classroom reading. I also commend the acknowledgement of politicians, leaders, and activists on both local and global levels."
