Kennedy and Richard Nixon is one of the most frequently described political events of the twentieth century, yet the accounts to date have been remarkably unbalanced. Far more attention is given to Kennedy's side than to Nixon's. The imbalance began with the first book on that election, Theodore White's The Making of the President 1960-in which (as he later admitted) White deliberately cast Kennedy as the hero and Nixon as the villain-and it has been perpetuated in almost every book since then. Few historians have attempted an unbiased account of the election, and none have done the archival research that Irwin F. Gellman has done. Based on previously unused sources such as the FBI's surveillance of JFK and the papers of Leon Jaworski, vice-presidential candidate Henry Cabot Lodge, and many others, this book presents the first even-handed history of both the primary campaigns and the general election. The result is a fresh, engaging chronicle that shatters long-held myths and reveals the strengths and weaknesses of both candidates. 600 10 $a Kennedy, John F. $q (John Fitzgerald), $d 1917-1963. 600 10 $a Nixon, Richard M. $q (Richard Milhous), $d 1913-1994 $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000122790777 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Election $y 1960. 650 0 $a Political campaigns $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1953-1961. 941 $a 5 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240202024037.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214015213.0 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228021058.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20220531010105.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220119011302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BB3E246C78F511ECAF30597D2FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
