  • Summary

  • Luke Nichter is a professor of History and the James H. Cavanaugh Endowed Chair in Presidential Studies at Chapman University. Luke joins Adam to discuss his latest book, “The Year that Broke Politics:Collusion and Chaos in the Presidential Election of 1968” which was named one of the top books of 2023 by the Wall Street Journal.

    Nichter shows 1968 to be a pivotal year in American politics, but not for the reasons we’ve come to accept. The conventional wisdom of the Republican and Democratic Party rivalry is redrawn to reveal sunrising insights about the cast of presidential candidates in the ‘68 election. It’s been said that history may not repeat but it does rhyme, and “The Year That Broke Politics” is both an astute reassessment of 1968 and something of a cautionary tale for 2024.
