The Un Presidented Speaker Series: Luke Nichter | Hoover Institution Library & Archives

Historian and author Luke Nichter presents on "Watergate @ 50: Looking Back and Looking Forward" at this second Hoover Institution Library & Archives hybrid event in the Un-Presidented Speaker Series.
Fifty years is often sufficient for revisionism to reshape our understanding of even the most complex and controversial subjects. Not so with Watergate. Today the history we have is remarkably similar to what journalists wrote in the 1970s. However, there is hope for a breakthrough in the near future.
