Reviews

Exciting as history and compelling as law, Inside the Pentagon Papers gives us the secret documents from this famous case - and shows how thin the government's legal and factual arguments actually were. Anthony Lewis, author of Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment; ""This is a signal event, for the revelation of the Pentagon Papers brought forth Nixon's Plumbers - and the rest, as we know, is history."" Stanley I. Kutler, author of The Wars of Watergate; ""So many dazzling new perspectives on events we thought we knew and a cautionary tale for here and now."" Frank Snepp, author of Decent Interval and Irreparable Harm; ""The most complete, incisive and persuasive study of those documents yet published."" Floyd Abrams, co-counsel to the New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case
