Story4.5 out of 5 stars 69
It was the election that would ultimately give America "Camelot" and its tragic aftermath. 1960 is a stunning recreation of the bare-knuckle politics of the primaries, the party conventions' backroom dealings, the unprecedented television debates, along with hot-button issues of race, religion, and foreign policy. And, at the center of it all, three future presidents - Lyndon Johnson, John F. Kennedy, and Richard Nixon. In this essential work of history, David Pietrusza chronicles 1960's struggle for power by bringing to life its towering events and personalities, unlocking its secrets, and turning expert scholarship into rich, human storytelling.

Alexander was born into the royal family of Macedonia, the kingdom that would soon rule over Greece. Tutored as a boy by Aristotle, Alexander had an inquisitive mind that would serve him well when he faced formidable obstacles during his military campaigns. Shortly after taking command of the army, he launched an invasion of the Persian Empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India.

When the British fought the young United States during the War of 1812, they knew that taking the mouth of the Mississippi River was the key to crippling their former colony. Capturing the city of New Orleans and stopping trade up the river sounded like a simple task - New Orleans was far away from Washington, out of sight and out of mind for the politicians. What the British didn't count on was the power of General Andrew Jackson.

In our unique genomes, every one of us carries the story of our species - births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex. But those stories have always been locked away - until now. Who are our ancestors? Where did they come from? Geneticists have suddenly become historians, and the hard evidence in our DNA has completely upended what we thought we knew about ourselves. Acclaimed science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story - from 100,000 years ago to the present.

Growing up on a farm in Ohio, George always preferred being outdoors and exploring. This made school a challenge, but his hunting, fishing, and trapping skills helped put food on his family's table. As a poor teenager living in a rough area, he got into regular brawls, and he found holding down a job hard because of his wanderlust. After working out West with the CCC, he decided that joining the Marines offered him the opportunity for adventure plus three square meals a day; so he and his brother joined the Corps in 1941.

The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. After its founding in 509 BCE, the Romans refused to allow a single leader to seize control of the state and grab absolute power. The Roman commitment to cooperative government and peaceful transfers of power was unmatched in the history of the ancient world. But by the year 133 BCE, the republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled.

Publisher's Summary
Who reminds you of Donald Trump more? John F. Kennedy or Richard Nixon? Keep that thought to yourself for a second as I remind you that JFK and Nixon ran against each other in 1960. A member of a popular two-term administration ran against a phenom running without permission. The race saw a revolutionary use of new media. The side that lost tells anyone who will listen that nefarious outside help tipped the election. This is the story of 1960 and if we'd known more about it we'd have been less surprised when the events replayed themselves in 2016. John F. Kennedy only won one race for the White House and his slogan for that race was "Get American Moving Again" News dies and becomes history, but tonight? We raise the dead.

Great factual story of the 60’s Election
I turned 21, the voting age at that time, in 1961, However I did go to the Democratic Convention Headquarters at the Biltmore Hotel and rubbed elbows with most of the candidates looking for the nomination. This story brings back all those memories, and fills in a bunch of questions I had at the time.
Thanks, Justin for a great narrative, well done.

High energy analysis
A very engaging and entertaining retelling of the 1960 US presidential election with the uncanny parallels to 2016. The author brings an excitement and infectious energy to the topic making this an atypical and timely look at how the US political process has evolved in the late 20th century.

Goigg high AND low
JRY's genius is that he is as likely to dras from professional wrestling as from political science. He goes for the dirt every time,, but always for the purpose of enlightenment. A supremely entertaining tour de force. Should be an Audible original. Could have used a nip and a tuck here and there as this version, while adding some nice extras, messes up the original podcast's structure a bit.

A bit over the top performance
I like history, and I do like it not being presented in a dull academic voice. This performance could have been toned down a bit. Also it could have used a bit more editing to fit the book format. I understand it was a podcast but there is noticable cliff hangers before commercial break and recap after comercial break that frankly is anoying when there are commercials but should be removed when commercials are removed. Otherwise interesting history.
