add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Day the Presses Stopped: A History of the Pentagon Papers Case," by David Rudenstine. This book is a carefully wrought, thoroughly researched, literate and exciting book about a case that raised the question of what power, if any, the government has, or should have, to prevent the nation's press from spreading truthful information and editorial perspectives that embarrass that government, undermine its reputation and might conceivably lead to the destruction of property, the dislocation of foreign affairs and even a loss of human life.
