Why people recommend it
The Making of the President 1960 by Theodore H. White is a landmark work of political journalism that chronicles the intense campaigns, backroom dealing, and media strategies behind the historic presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. On The Ezra Klein Show, Ezra Klein and Elaine Kamarck enthusiastically recommended the book as an essential resource for understanding how presidential nominations operate, detailing the extensive background information it provides on how both major party candidates secured their respective nominations. Robert Caro discussed the book on The Book Review, recalling how he sent archival material to Brown University connected to Theodore White's foundational political reporting. Jill Abramson and Alexandra Alter also referenced White's classic text on The Book Review, using it as the gold standard for campaign literature and comparing subsequent political books to the monumental sea change captured in White's original volume. Across these podcast discussions, White's work is celebrated not only as a masterclass in political reporting, but as a vital historical blueprint for understanding the complex machinery of American democracy and presidential campaigns.
