The 1960s was a decade filled with change, drama, exploration, violence and passion. The Making of the President: The 1960s is a remarkable box set containing the films that were founded on the best-selling books by historical author Theodore H. White. The decade began with the election in 1960, and then slid through the election of 1964 only to close out the 1960s with a bang in 1968.

The Presidential Campaign of 1960

Beginning in 1960, these documentaries look at the rise of John F. Kennedy and his original primary battle with Senator Hubert H. Humphrey. This was the first presidential election that reached the majority of the American public through the wonder of television. It might best be known for the historic Kennedy/Nixon televised debates.

Nixon led his party as the front runner, due to his status as Vice President. When things got tough he called on President Eisenhower to help give his campaign a boost, but it was not enough to overcome the Kennedy machine. Although the race was close, the well-run campaign by John Kennedy triumphed.
