Recensioner i media
A wonderful and significant story....The issues raised by the Pentagon Papers - presidential power, the role of the courts and the press, government secrecy - are all still with us. And this book throws fresh and important light on those issues. - Anthony Lewis in the New York Review of Books ""Highlights the burden of a free press that enriches a nation that cherishes freedom but yearns for national security....Ideal for students in media ethics and media law classes."" - American Journalism
