Title: Re: What is the best book on the 1968 Presidential Election? Post by: feeblepizza on March 14, 2011, 06:18:28 PM Try Nixonland by Rick Perlstein. It's more of a Nixon biography, but it does describe the 1968 presidential election in great detail, especially the George Wallace campaign and the Democratic National Convention.

It's more of a Nixon biography, but it does describe the 1968 presidential election in great detail, especially the George Wallace campaign and the Democratic National Convention. I read part of that book. I liked how it focused on individuals, with a chapter devoted to Reagan (though it's possibly tainted with bias), and with other people. I like one of the pictures in the middle where it has Romney, Reagan, and Rocky and the caption reads "some anti-war figures wore suits" referring to Romney.

Similar to White's Making of the President series, though.

It's more of a Nixon biography, but it does describe the 1968 presidential election in great detail, especially the George Wallace campaign and the Democratic National Convention. That's a good book. I like how the John Birch Society supported Wallace despite his economic views. |
