ralphz 's review for:
A great look at a key election, impacting more than 15 years of U.S. history.
This is more than just The Great Debate and Papa Joe. The backroom dealings begin with the primaries, and the mistakes made by all.
Adlai Stevenson dithers, Nelson Rockefeller jumps in late and Hubert Humphrey isn't up to the task.
Kennedy takes on Nixon, and both sides have their pros and cons. And Nixon led deep into the election season. Then The Great Debate. Then Nixon battled back and took the lead again - which isn't widely remembered.
A lot of interesting characters populate this tale, and coming off worst of all were Eleanor Roosevelt (pretty much a racist), Bobby Kennedy (pretty much a profane bully) and Dwight Eisenhower (pretty much a disconnected president).
You'll likely find a lot of new information here, and new takes on old facts. Worth your time.
