Institute for Leadership Series Presents Chris Wallace at Angelico Concert Hall, Dominican University
Date: Wednesday, October 16, 2024
Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm
We are honored to host one of the most esteemed journalists of our era, Chris Wallace, at Dominican University of California to celebrate the release of COUNTDOWN 1960: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of the 312 Days that Changed America’s Politics Forever.
Suspenseful and revealing, COUNTDOWN 1960 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. 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.
Throughout COUNTDOWN 1960, Wallace makes clear the importance of understanding our past, so that we may look toward and choose the future of our nation. The year 1960 was a deeply contentious, perilous time for America, but, as Wallace shows, it was also a moment our nation survived due to courage, leadership, and patriotism.
COUNTDOWN 1960 is a nonfiction political thriller filled with intrigue, cinematic action, and fresh reporting. Wallace unveils little-known events and details, all with gripping effect.
Chris Wallace is anchor of CNN’s The Chris Wallace Show and host of Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? on Max. Prior to CNN, Wallace was the anchor of Fox News Sunday for eighteen years, where he covered every major political event.
