New York: Atheneum Publishers, 1968.

First edition. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by the author to reporter Mike Wallace, “For Mike Wallace- from a companion of passage affectionately, Teddy White.” Fine in a near fine dust jacket.

The third book in Theodore H. White's landmark series, The Making of the President 1968 is the compelling account of the turbulent 1968 presidential campaign, the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and election of Richard Nixon. White made history with his groundbreaking The Making of the President 1960, a narrative that won the Pulitzer Prize for revolutionizing the way that presidential campaigns were reported. "White unites a novelist's knack of dramatization and a historian's sense of significance with a synthesizing skill that grasps the reader by the lapels" (Newsweek).
