A riveting new work and fresh take on the lead-up to the presidential election of 1960, drawing timely parallels to the choice Americans face in 2024

It’s January 2, 1960: the day that Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy declared his candidacy; and with this opening scene, Chris Wallace offers readers a front-row seat to history. From the challenge of primary battles in a nation that had never elected a Catholic president, to the intense machinations of the national conventions—where JFK chose Lyndon Johnson as his running mate over the impassioned objections of his brother Bobby—this is a nonfiction political thriller filled with intrigue, cinematic action, and fresh reporting. Like with many popular histories, readers may be familiar with the story, but few will know the behind-the-scenes details, told here with gripping effect.

Featuring some of history’s most remarkable characters, page-turning action, and vivid details, Countdown 1960 follows a group of extraordinary politicians, civil rights leaders, Hollywood stars, labor bosses, and mobsters during a pivotal year in American history. The election of 1960 ushered in the modern era of presidential politics, with televised debates, private planes, and slick advertising. In fact, television played a massive role. More than 70 million Americans watched one or all four debates. The public turned to television to watch campaign rallies. And on the night of the election, the contest between Kennedy and Nixon was so close that Americans were glued to their televisions long after dawn to see who won.

The election of 1960 holds stunning parallels to our current political climate. There were—potentially valid—claims of voter fraud and a stolen election. There was also a presidential candidate faced with the decision of whether to contest the result or honor the peaceful transfer of power.

一部引人入胜的新作品，对1960年总统选举前夕的重新解读，提出了2024年美国人面临的类似选择，并及时将这些对比联系起来。

这是1960年1月2日：马萨诸塞州参议员约翰·F·肯尼迪宣布竞选总统的日子；从全国从未选出一位天主教徒总统的挑战，到国家代表大会中激烈的谋划——其中，肯尼迪选择了理查德·尼克松作为他的副手，而这个选择却遭到了他弟弟鲍比的热情反对—《1960年倒计时》为读者提供了一个历史现场。这是一个充满阴谋、惊心动魄的动作场面和新鲜报道的政治惊悚片。

本书中涉及了许多历史上最引人注目的角色，情节扣人心弦，细节生动描绘了1960年美国历史上的关键时刻。1960年的总统选举开启了现代总统政治的时代，电视辩论、私人飞机以及精美的广告成为常态。事实上，电视发挥了巨大作用。7000多万美国人观看了至少一场或四场辩论。公众转向电视观看竞选集会。而在选举之夜，肯尼迪与尼克松之间的竞争如此接近，以至于美国人在黎明之后还守在电视机前，以看到谁赢得了胜利。

1960年的总统选举与当今的政治气候有惊人的相似之处。存在可能合理的投票欺诈和篡夺选举的指控；同时也有一个面临是否应该继续进行结果认证还是尊重权力和平交接的候选人。
