The Making of The President
The Making of the President 1960, a Harper Perennial Political Classic, is a ground-breaking national blockbuster and Pulitzer Prize-winning chronicle of John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign and election in 1960.
The Making of the President: 1960 changed the way presidential races are covered in the current era. White's deep investigation and access to all parties involved, which he reported from within the campaign for the first time on record, established the bar for campaign coverage and remains unrivalled. White captured the high-stakes drama in magnificent detail and with exquisite pacing; he painted the unforgettable, even mythic, story of JFK versus Nixon; and, most importantly, he imbued the nation's presidential election process with a grandeur that subsequent political writers have rarely matched.
