Date & Time:  August 25, 2024, 02:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

 

The 1968 presidential race was tumultuous. Vice President Hubert Humphrey, former Vice President Richard Nixon, and Alabama’s former governor, George Wallace, fought about policies and quarreled about morals. In The Year That Broke Politics, Luke Nichter explores these politicians’ showboating styles while also considering a weighty question: Why did their messages resonate with American voters?
