“White unites a novelist's knack of dramatization and a historian's sense of significance with a synthesizing skill that grasps the reader by the lapels.” —Newsweek The third book in Theodore H. White's landmark series, The Making of the President 1968 is the compelling account of the turbulent 1968 presidential campaign, the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and election of Richard Nixon. White made history with his groundbreaking The Making of the President 1960, a narrative that won the Pulitzer Prize for revolutionizing the way that presidential campaigns were reported. Now, The Making of the President 1968—back in print, freshly repackaged, and with a new foreword by Chris Matthews—joins Theodore Sorensen's Kennedy, White's The Making of the President 1960, 1964, and 1972, and other classics in the burgeoning Harper Perennial Political Classics series.

Part One Of Two Parts In this, the last of his prize-winning series on American presidential politics, Theodore H. White explains the transformation of American politics over the past 25 years. White sets the stage by describing the forces molding American politics...from television to the Great Inflation. He revisits elections, from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Ronald Reagan, and suggests how future contests might develop. He argues that events shape the man rather than vice versa: "I have learned that such men are cast up by events and forces larger than individuals." "A clear and uncluttered look at the tumultuous decades in which we find ourselves." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)

(In The Making of the President 1972, the fourth volume of...)
In The Making of the President 1972, the fourth volume of narrative history of American politics in action, Theodore H. White brings his defining quartet of campaign narratives to a surprising and riveting close. The consummate journalist, White chronicles both the Democratic and the Republican parties as they jockeyed for position toward the end of Richard M. Nixons turbulent first term. He illuminates the cinematic moments that shaped the campaignthe attempt on George Wallaces life, Edmund Muskie crying in the snow in New Hampshire, the swift rise and fall of Tom Eagleton, and the ongoing anguish of Vietnamleading inexorably to a second chaotic collapse among the Democrats and a landslide victory for Nixon. Yet even as the presidents highest ambitions were confirmed, White watches aghast as the new Nixon of 1968 is eclipsed by the corrupt Nixon of olda Shakespearean conclusion to an astonishing political epoch.

An empire totters - on its survival hung the careers of thousands of frightened employees, the savings of small stockholders. On its death rested the cold ambitions of the shrewd and ruthless moneymen, the bankers and speculators. Between the two stood John Ridgely Warren - himself touched by ruthlessness and power-lust, and yet a man of compassion and conscience. Ridge Warren had to choose whether to be the great company's rescuer - or its executioner.

(The Nixon crisis of 1973-1974 threatened the nation in wa...)
The Nixon crisis of 1973-1974 threatened the nation in ways we did not immediately understand. Stripped of drama and confusion, however, the problem was that our President had placed himself above the law. The nation had to decide whether that could be allowed. Theodore H. White starts this story with the last days of Richard Nixon in the White House -- as those closest recognized that he had deceived them and that they must force him out. He follows the thread of manipulation back to its origin 20 years earlier and shows how the Nixon team came to see politics as war in which no quarter was given, in which the White House was a command post where ordinary rules did not apply, where power could be used without restraint.
