Over twenty years ago when he was running for President, John Kennedypublished a book called Profiles in Courage. He was interested in conventionalheroes, principled and dedicated, who devoted themselves to holding "the ship ofState to its true course." Charles DeBenedetti's timely book is about equallyprincipled heroes who were frequently at odds with the direction the American shipof State was taking at home and abroad. The people who gave shape to the Americanpeace movement in the twentieth century were Jane Addams, Eugene V. Debs, NormanThomas, Albert Einstein, A. J. Muste, Norman Cousins, Martin Luther King, Jr., andDaniel and Philip Berrigan. These dynamic and individualistic people are discussedin separate mini-biographies in this volume.
