Selected Bibliography. Index. Signed by author. Douglas Brinkley (born December 14, 1960) is an American author and a professor of history at Rice University. Brinkley is the history commentator for CNN and a contributing editor to the magazines Vanity Fair and American Heritage. A public spokesperson on conservation issues, Brinkley serves as an editor at Audubon Magazine. He joined the faculty of Rice University as a professor of history in 2007. Historian Brinkley presents an in-depth account of John Kerry's experiences in the Navy during the war in Vietnam, and shows how these experiences shaped his character. Kerry, a Yale graduate who had enlisted, rose to the rank of lieutenant, saw action, and received the Purple Heart three times. After the war, Kerry was active in the organization Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Brinkley has uncovered documents relating to a campaign by Nixon aides to discredit Kerry, who later became a United States senator from Massachusetts.
