Quotes

"A notable achievement. White has written a fascinating story of a fascinating campaign."


- Time
“No book that I know of has caught the heartbeat of a campaign as strikingly as Theodore White has done in The Making of the President 1960.”


- New York Times
"A masterpiece . . . full of deep insights into political power in America and how our democracy works in choosing the President. It gripped me from beginning to end as very few books have."


- William L. Shirer
"More than a fascinating account of how one man succeeded in reaching the White House, while other failed; it is a graduate lesson in the rough, relentless, subtle and devious workings of American politics. It is a magnificent job of reporting, but it is also history."


- Saturday Review
"[White] revolutionized the art of political reporting."


- William F. Buckley
