"The most significant leaks of classified material in American history." -The Washington Post
Not Fake News! The basis for the 2018 film The Post by Academy Award-winning director Steven Spielberg, The Pentagon Papers are a series of articles, documents, and studies examining the Johnson Administration's lies to the public about the extent of US involvement in the Vietnam War, bringing to light shocking conclusions about America's true role in the conflict.

The Pentagon Papers demonstrated that the government had systematically lied to both the public and to Congress.
This incomparable, 848-page volume includes:
