本世纪的竞选：肯尼迪、尼克松和1960年的选举[有声读物]

基于大量的新研究，这是对20世纪最接近的一次选举令人信服和惊讶的描述。1960年约翰·F·肯尼迪和理查德·尼克松之间的总统选举是20世纪最常被描述的政治事件之一，但迄今为止的描述一直非常不平衡。人们对肯尼迪一方的关注远远多于尼克松一方。这种不平衡始于西奥多·怀特（Theodore White）的第一本关于那次选举的书《1960年总统的塑造》（The Making of The President），在这本书中（正如他后来承认的那样），怀特故意将肯尼迪塑造成英雄，尼克松塑造成反派。自那以后，这一不平衡几乎一直存在于每本书中。
很少有历史学家试图对选举进行公正的描述，也没有人像欧文·F·盖尔曼那样做过档案研究。本书基于之前未使用过的资料来源，如FBI对肯尼迪的监视，以及利昂·贾沃斯基、副总统候选人亨利·卡博特·洛奇和其他许多人的文件，展示了初选和大选的首次公平历史。其结果是一部全新的、引人入胜的编年史，打破了长期以来的神话，揭示了两位候选人的优势和劣势。
Campaign of the Century: Kennedy, Nixon, and the Election of 1960 [Audiobook]
Based on massive new research, a compelling and surprising account of the 20th century’s closest election. The 1960 presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon is one of the most frequently described political events of the 20th century, yet the accounts to date have been remarkably unbalanced. Far more attention is given to Kennedy’s side than to Nixon’s. The imbalance began with the first book on that election, Theodore White’s The Making of the President 1960 – in which (as he later admitted) White deliberately cast Kennedy as the hero and Nixon as the villain – and it has been perpetuated in almost every book since then.
Few historians have attempted an unbiased account of the election, and none have done the archival research that Irwin F. Gellman has done. Based on previously unused sources such as the FBI’s surveillance of JFK and the papers of Leon Jaworski, vice-presidential candidate Henry Cabot Lodge, and many others, this book presents the first even-handed history of both the primary campaigns and the general election. The result is a fresh, engaging chronicle that shatters long-held myths and reveals the strengths and weaknesses of both candidates.
