Douglas Brinkley (born December 1…4, 1960) is an American author, Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and professor of history at Rice University. Brinkley is the history commentator for CNN, and a contributing editor to the magazine Vanity Fair. He is a public spokesperson on conservation issues. He joined the faculty of Rice University as a professor of history in 2007. Luke A. Nichter is a Professor of History and Beck Family Senior Fellow at Texas A&M University - Central Texas, Book Review Editor for Presidential Studies Quarterly, and a National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar for 2017-2018. His area of specialty is the Cold War, the Presidency, and U.S. Political History, with a focus on the "long 1960s" from John F. Kennedy through Watergate. This concluding volume covers the final year of the Nixon white house tapes, captured on tape between 1971 and 1973. Revelations include how Nixon's greatest fear during the Watergate investigation was not that evidence would confirm his role in the break-in--he had none--but that his secret domestic intelligence proposal, the Huston Plan, would become public; how Nixon and Kissinger knew privately that the January 1973 Vietnam peace agreement would not hold, even as the ink was still drying; and Nixon's threat to send a "division" of tanks to kill Native Americans at the Wounded Knee standoff.
