ABOUT THE BOOK

Suspenseful and revealing, COUNTDOWN 1960: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of the 312 Days that Changed America’s Politics Forever (Dutton, October 8, 2024) takes readers through the eleven months leading up to the consequential presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, and marks the third installment of Wallace’s blockbuster, bestselling Countdown series—the first published by Dutton.

As Wallace demonstrates throughout the book, 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.

People may think they know all that happened during the Kennedy/Nixon election, but in COUNTDOWN 1960, Wallace takes readers behind the curtain of history in a way only a journalist of his caliber can. A nonfiction political thriller filled with intrigue, cinematic action, and fresh reporting, Wallace unveils little-known events and details, all with gripping effect.
