Theodore H. White

A Harper Perennial Political Classic, The Making of the President 1960 is the groundbreaking national bestseller and Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the 1960 presidential campaign and the election of John F. Kennedy. The Making of the 1960 revolutionized the way modern presidential campaigns are reported. Reporting from within the campaign for the first time on record, White’s extensive research and access to all parties involved set the bar for campaign coverage and remains unparalleled. White conveyed, in magnificent detail and with exquisite pacing, the high-stakes drama; he painted the unforgettable, even mythic, story of JFK versus Nixon; and most of all, he imbued the nation’s presidential election process with a grandeur that later political writers have rarely matched.

In The Making of the President 1968, the 3rd volume of the groundbreaking series that revolutionized American political journalism, Theodore H. White offers a compelling account of one of the most turbulent presidential campaigns in history: the 1968 election that put Richard M. Nixon in the White House. Viewing the electoral process from an insider's perspective--capturing both the vast scope & the intimate, behind-the-scenes details--White chronicles a campaign that saw the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. & presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, was marked by protest & violence in the streets of Chicago, & that came down to a neck-&-neck finish between the tenacious but ill-starred Hubert H. Humphrey & the most fascinating politician of the modern age: the finally, unexpectedly, victorious Richard Nixon.

Theodore H. White's landmark Making of the President series revolutionized American political journalism, investing his subject with both epic scope and a fresh frankness about backroom political strategy that was unlike anything that had come before. In this second volume of his groundbreaking series, White offers an intimate chronicle of the 1964 campaign for the White House, from the earthshaking tragedy of President Kennedy's assassination through the battle for power between Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater, whose candidacy paved the way for the modern conservative movement. White reports from within both campaigns, bringing to life a turbulent year in America's history and a furious contest between two tough and seasoned political pros.

The Nixon crisis of 1973-74 threatened the state in ways not immediately understood. Stripped of drama & confusion, however, the problem was that the President had placed himself above the law. The nation had to decide whether that could be allowed. Theodore H. White starts this story with the last days of Richard Nixon in the White House--as those closest recognized he'd deceived them & that they must force him out. He follows the thread of manipulation back to its origin 20 years earlier & shows how the Nixon team came to see politics as war without quarter, in which the White House was a command post where ordinary rules didn't apply, where power could be used without restraint.Let justice be doneThe politics of manipulationPoor Richard: how things workThe team: from politics to powerThe White House of Richard Nixon: from style to heresyThe underground: from crime to conspiracyVictory 1972: design for controlThe tapes: a tour inside the mind of Richard NixonThe systems respond: Spring 1973Firestorm: Fall 1973The question period: Winter-Spring 1974Judgment: Summer 1974Breach of faithAppendix A: The articles of impeachmentAppendix B: Richard Nixon's farewell statement, 8/8/74

In this last of his prize-winning series on American presidential politics, Theodore H. White tells of the dramas that lie behind that transfomation. He reveals how television took over American politics and changed its nature and how it came to undermine all American life.

From the first outbreak of hostilities in northern China in 1937 to the Japanese surrender aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in 1945, this book re-creates the decade of upheaval when China was caught in the grip of revolution and war and torn from its feudal past. The authors Time-Life correspondents during the war years, report firsthand on the rise and fall of the Kuomintang nationalist government and its leader, Chiang Kaishek, who ironically misunderstood his own people as much as the Japanese. At the same time, we see how the Communists won popular support both with more extensive social reforms and with their unrelenting war against Japan. White and Jacoby also shed new light on the actions of "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell (the only American who assessed the Chinese situation accurately) and the diplomacy of Ambassador Patrick J. Hurley, also providing a classic account of the Chinese peasant and his revolution which has since proved to be the recurrent pattern of events in the developing Third World.

The time is 1944. The setting is East Asia in flames. The characters Philip Baldwin, a New England major with his first command -- a tough and surly American demolition unit isolated in the great retreat of that turbulent year; Su-piao, a strong and beautiful Chinese woman educated in America; and Kwan, a frosty Chinese colonel who loves his country but must help ravish it. The story of their adventures in one violent week marks Theodore H. White's emergence as a major novelist.

Part Two Of Two Parts Theodore White's autobiography is the story of a man who literally covered the world, who understood that world and wrote about it brilliantly. IN SEARCH OF HISTORY is a marvelous rags-to-riches autobiography, thoughtful, dramatic and funny, filled with perceptive details about events and personalities. In White's parade of men and events, we meet Douglas MacArthur, both as outcast and conqueror; listen to a troubled Eisenhower preparing to lay aside his uniform and plunge into politics; visit Mao Tse-tung in his cave in Hunan; and trace the power-curve of America's greatness across the glory years at home and abroad.
