The Making of the President, 1960

To the right is Theodore H. White. He is a Pulitzer prize-winning historian, and he wrote a book called The Making of the President, 1960.


I am reading this book to get a better understanding of campaigns, conventions, and elections in general. It is one of many I have read lately.


I found many sentences in Mr. White's book that were pure poetry in both their ideas and the way he put the words together. Because I am assuming those of you reading have some interest in history, I decided to share this: 


History is always best written generations after the event, when cloud, fact and memory have all fused into what can be accepted as truth, whether it be so or not.


Ahhhh.
