In 1964, Daniel Ellsberg was one of the Pentagon insiders helping to plan a war in Vietnam. The mountainous Asian country had long been a clandestine front in America's Cold War with the Soviet Union. The U.S. Government would do anything to stop the spread of communism--with or without the consent of the American people. But as the fighting in Vietnam escalated. Ellsberg turned against the war. He had access to a top-secret government report known as the Pentagon Papers and knew it could blow the lid off of years of government lies. But did he have the right to expose decades of presidential secrets? And could one man, alone, face the wrath of the government? This is the story of the seven bloody years that transformed Daniel Ellsberg from a government insider into "the most dangerous man in America," and of the storm that would follow when the secrets of the Vietnam War were finally known. --front flap Similar books: The Port Chicago 50 by Steve Sheinkin Bomb by Steve Sheinkin The Notorious Benedict Arnold by Steve Sheinkin A Higher Call by Adam Makos Fearless by Eric Blehm Hana's Suitcase by Karen Levine Devotion by Adam Makos The Last Punisher by Kevin Lacz The Operator by Robert O'Neill Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson The Admirals by Walter R.
