<p>JFK’s first book was “While England Slept”, but “Profiles in Courage” later won the Pulitzer for him.</p>
<p>JFK was actually a fairly talented writer. He could have made a career of it. His political opponents used to try to tear him down by claiming that his daddy hired ghost writers to write for him. But the original drafts of the “While England Slept” in his own handwriting with cross-outs and edits are still in the archives at Harvard. Apparently he didn’t need ghost writers.</p>
