Profiles in Character: Hubris and Heroism in the U.S. Senate, 1789-1990

by Joseph M. Hernon

A take-off of Kennedy's Profiles in Courage, which argues that the best-known US senators don't deserve their renown as much as some lesser-known ones. Over the course of ten biographical chapters, this book tells the story of 16 men's lives in the Senate in relation to each other.
