Discussion of the content and impact of the Pentagon Papers.

The Pentagon Papers destroyed the government's case for war in Vietnam and convulsed the Nixon White House. Daniel Ellsberg, the man who revealed them, will be our featured webinar speaker. Join us to honor and celebrate him, Anthony Russo, Senator Mike Gravel and the newspapers that dared to publish on the 50th anniversary of the June 13, 1971 public release of these top-secret documents.

• Why did Nixon's National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger call Ellsberg "the most dangerous man in America," who "had to be stopped at all costs"?
• Why did the government's espionage trial of Ellsberg and his co-defendant Anthony Russo collapse?
• How did the trial end up intensifying Nixon's Watergate scandal?
• What was the key role played by Ellsberg's co-defendant Anthony Russo?
• What was so explosive about what was in the Pentagon Papers?
