In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist,
concludes that the war is based on decades of lies and leaks 7,000 pages of top secret
documents to The New York Times, hoping to help stop the war he helped plan.
The Most Dangerous Man in America is the riveting story of how one man’s profound
change of heart creates a landmark struggle involving America’s newspapers, president
and Supreme Court– a political thriller whose events led directly to Watergate, Nixon’s
resignation and the end of the Vietnam War.
