Any alternate history on it, in my opinion.

[Senator Ben]

The Making of the President 1968

Try Nixonland by Rick Perlstein. It's more of a Nixon biography, but it does describe the 1968 presidential election in great detail, especially the George Wallace campaign and the Democratic National Convention.

I read part of that book. I liked how it focused on individuals, with a chapter devoted to Reagan (though it's possibly tainted with bias), and with other people. I like one of the pictures in the middle where it has Romney, Reagan, and Rocky and the caption reads "some anti-war figures wore suits" referring to Romney.

An American Melodrama. Similar to White's Making of the President series, though.

Divided They Stand by David English is very good. can't say if it's the best, but it's good.  think I read it at age 15.

That's a good book. I like how the John Birch Society supported Wallace despite his economic views.
