After the war he became a Democratic Congressman from Boston and entered the Senate in 1953. Later that same year he married his wife, Jacqueline Bouvier. Two years later, while recuperating from a back operation he wrote the book, "Profiles in Courage" which won him a Pulitzer Prize. The book describes acts of bravery and integrity by eight United States Senators from throughout the Senate's history. Those profiled crossed party lines and/or defied the public opinion of their constituents to do what they felt was right and suffered severe criticism and a loss in popularity because of their actions.
