Longtime newsman Chris Wallace has written a book on the 1960 presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. The book, titled 'Countdown 1960: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of the 311 Days that Changed America’s Politics Forever,' is set to be published on Oct. 8 by Dutton.
Wallace highlighted the significance of the 1960 election, noting that it was the first to be largely conducted on television. It also featured the first televised debates between the major party candidates and was unique in that both candidates were born in the 20th century.
