Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers
Daniel Ellsberg's remarkable memoir recounts the events that led to the release of the Pentagon Papers, a 7,000-page study of US decision-making in Vietnam. In 1971, Ellsberg, a former State Department observer, risked his career and freedom to expose the deceptions and delusions that shaped three decades of American foreign policy.
The story of one man's exploration of conscience is also a portrait of America at a perilous crossroad. This well-told memoir is a powerful testament to the impact of individual action on history.
