The Making of the President 1960 is Theodore H. White’s landmark account of the 1960 United States presidential election, the contest in which John F. Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard Nixon. Published in 1961, it is both a political history and a piece of literary journalism, combining close reporting with narrative pacing and psychological detail. Rather than treating the election as a sequence of detached events, White presents it as a national drama shaped by primaries, party strategy, television debates, and the shifting public image of the candidates. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction and became a bestseller, but its lasting importance comes from how it changed campaign reporting. White’s method emphasized access, atmosphere, and the human pressures behind public politics, creating a model that influenced later election books and modern political journalism.
