"e;1960 aims to take us deeper into the campaign than Theodore White's famous The Making of the President, 1960. And it does."e;-Chicago Sun-TimesThis is award-winning historian David Pietrusza's hard-edged account of the 1960 presidential campaign, the election that ultimately gave America "e;Camelot"e; and its tragic aftermath. It is the story of the bare-knuckle politics of the primaries; the party conventions' backroom dealings; the unprecedented television debates; the hot-button issues of race, religion, and foreign policy and, at the center of it all, three future presidents: Lyndon Johnson, John F. Kennedy, and Richard Nixon. "e;Terrific."e; Robert A.
