EVENT DETAILS
Between 1971 and 1973, President Nixon’s infamous voice-activated taping system secretly recorded 3,700 hours of unfiltered conversation within executive offices, including the Oval Office. Historian Douglas Brinkley, who was involved with the transcription project, provides a compelling overview of the tapes and how they offer an unprecedented glimpse into Nixon’s intellectual yet flawed presidency.
Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Rice University and CNN presidential historian, is the co-editor of The Nixon Tapes: 1971–1972 and The Nixon Tapes: 1973.
