This book's subjects--winners of the John F. Kennedy Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award over the past 14 years--are profiled by writers that include Bob Woodward, Michael Beschloss, and Anna Quindlen. Ron Suskind writes about Nickolas Murnion, the lone prosecutor of desolate Garfield County, Montana. In 1993, he stood up to the Freemen, a homegrown, heavily-armed terrorist group that had taken over municipal buildings and placed bounties on the heads of local officials. Buy the book
