Luke Nichter
Watergate expert and Associate Professor at Texas A&M University
Luke Nichter is an Associate Professor of History at Texas A&M University – Central Texas, and a noted expert on the Nixon tapes. He is the author of the forthcoming book “Richard Nixon and Europe: The Reshaping of the Postwar Atlantic World” (Cambridge University Press, 2015), which is based on multilingual archival research in six countries.
Nichter’s latest book, co-authored with Douglas Brinkley, is “The Nixon Tapes: 1971-1972” and arrived in July 2014. He has also written book-length biographies of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and George W. Bush for the First Men, America's Presidents series at Nova History Publishers.
Nichter is a former founding Executive Producer of C-SPAN's “American History TV” (seen in 41 million homes) and his work is reported on by the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Associated Press. His website, nixontapes.org, offers free access to all 3,000 hours of publicly released Nixon tapes as a public service.
He has an ongoing petition before Chief Judge Royce Lamberth of the District Court for the District of Columbia—In Re: Petition of Luke Nichter, Case No. Misc. 12-74—which has already unsealed thousands of pages of Watergate-related government records now in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration. Once the case is concluded, the first-time release of these records may change our understanding of the origins of the Watergate break-in.
