The real making of the president

Description:

"When John Kennedy won the presidency in 1960, he also won the right to put his own spin on the victory--whether as an underdog's heroic triumph or a liberal crusader's overcoming special interests. Now W.J. Rorabaugh cuts through the mythology of this famous election to explain the nuts-and-bolts operations of the campaign and offers a corrective to Theodore Whote's flawed classic, 'The Making of a President'".--book jacket.
