Description
Immerse yourself in one of the most fascinating chapters of American political history with The Making of the President 1964. Theodore H. White brings the drama of the 1964 election to life with the storytelling skill of someone who truly understands the people, pressures, and turning points that shaped the nation in this moment.
What I love about this book is how gracefully White weaves insight with narrative—it reads like thoughtful journalism mixed with a deep appreciation for the American political spirit. This first edition captures the intensity of the Johnson–Goldwater race, the cultural anxiety of the post-Kennedy era, and the voices that defined a decade of transformation.
This copy has a gently faded jacket—typical for this title—but it’s otherwise beautifully preserved and now wrapped in a new Brodart cover for lasting protection. It’s perfect for readers who enjoy political history, collectors who appreciate mid-century nonfiction, or anyone who wants to understand the forces that shaped modern American leadership.
