A landmark work of American political journalism, The Selling of the President chronicles the calculated media campaign behind Richard Nixon's successful 1968 presidential run. Joe McGinniss gained unprecedented insider access to Nixon's advertising and PR team, revealing how political handlers packaged and marketed a candidate like a consumer product. The book presents a damning and prescient critique of the marriage between television, advertising, and modern politics, arguing that image had come to eclipse substance in the American democratic process. Written with the sharp eye of an investigative journalist and the narrative flair of a storyteller, it remains one of the most influential exposés of political manipulation ever published, its warnings more relevant today than ever.
