The Year That Broke Politics: Collusion and Chaos in the Presidential Election of 1968 is a work of political history by Luke A. Nichter that reexamines one of the most consequential and contested elections in modern American life. Rather than treating 1968 as a simple story of upheaval, party realignment, and Richard Nixon’s comeback, the book argues that the campaign was shaped by complex bargaining, back-channel communication, and strategic choices made by Lyndon B. Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, Nixon, and George Wallace. Nichter uses archival research and interviews to challenge familiar narratives about Johnson stepping away from politics, Nixon winning through a straightforward Southern Strategy, and Humphrey’s late surge being driven mainly by his shift on Vietnam. The result is a revisionist account that places political maneuvering, war policy, and media-driven interpretation at the center of the election’s meaning.
