Courage and Consequences: Profiles of conscience, risk, and retaliation in this world during the Twenty-First Century by James J. Devine is a timely and provocative work that updates the framework of John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage for an era of unprecedented state power, corporate retaliation, and digital surveillance.

Devine argues that modern systems of power-governmental, corporate, legal, and technological-have industrialized the instruments of consequence. Dissenters today face not merely electoral defeat or social exile but imprisonment, financial ruin, extradition, and the weaponization of legal systems against them. The book profiles six categories of courageous actors-government whistleblowers, press freedom defenders, environmental and human rights advocates, defenders of democratic institutions, public officials who broke with their own party, and ordinary people showing collective courage in healthcare, election work, immigration, and conflict zones. It seeks to honor people around the world in a new century and about subjects JFK could not have foreseen just 70 years ago.
