Countdown 1960 : the behind-the-scenes story of the 312 days that changed America's politics forever / by Wallace, Chris,author.; Weiss, Mitch,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 401-428) and index."It's January 2, 1960: the day that Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy declared his [presidential] 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 B. 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 will be familiar with the story, but few will know the behind-the-scenes details"--

Night canada stood still : how the 1995 quebec referendum nearly cost us our country / by Wright, Robert,author.;
"The Quebec sovereignist campaign began with the creation of the Parti Québécois in 1968 and climaxed in the provincial referendum on sovereignty, held on October 30, 1995. On that extraordinary evening, Canadians sat glued to their television screens as polling results trickled in. Unlike the first referendum, in 1980, when the victory of the federalist No vote led by Pierre Trudeau was a foregone conclusion, the race in October 1995 was a dead heat. In the end, the No vote won by the narrowest of margins, 50.56% to 49.44%. Never before had the country come face to face with its own imminent extinction. Robert Wright revisits the drama and intrigue that brought Quebecers and Canadians alike to that fateful event. Robert Wright is professor of history at Trent University in Oshawa, Ontario"--Provided by publisher.Includes bibliographical references and index.
