The Making of the President, 1972 is a work of political history and narrative journalism by Theodore H. White, the journalist-historian whose Making of the President series reshaped how American presidential campaigns were documented. Published in 1973, it examines the 1972 United States presidential election, a contest that ended with Richard Nixon’s landslide reelection over George McGovern. Like White’s earlier volumes, the book is not simply a chronology of campaign events. It aims to show how strategy, media, party conflict, public moods, and larger national tensions interact during an election year. White approaches the campaign as both reporter and interpreter, blending access, observation, and historical analysis to present the election as a revealing moment in modern American politics. The result is a book that belongs to political reportage, election history, and civic analysis at once, offering readers a detailed view of how presidential power is sought, narrated, and legitimized in the United States.
