The candidacy of John F. Kennedy provoked widespread discussion of
issues relating to church and state and to the role of Catholics in
American politics. This text is the inside story of that dramatic
campaign and is the first scholarly examination based on actual
voting returns. It includes a detailed analysis of the vote in
every county, revealing that religion affected the outcome of the
election far more than previously thought. Kennedy lost more votes
than he gained due to his religious affiliation, but by crafting a
strong coalition, he prevailed in one of the closest races in
presidential history.
