Summary:
From Steve Sheinkin, the award-winning author of The Slot Chicago 50 and Bomb comes a tense, exciting exploration of what the Times deemed ‘the greatest story from the century’: how Daniel Ellsberg transformed from obscure government analyst into ‘the most dangerous guy in the us,’ and risked everything to expose the government’s deceit. On June 13, 1971, the front page of the brand new York Situations announced the lifetime of a 7,000-web page collection of paperwork containing a secret history of the Vietnam Battle. Known as The Pentagon Papers, these papers have been comissioned by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Chronicling every action the government had used the Vietnam War, they uncovered a pattern of deception spanning over twenty years and four presidencies, and forever changed the partnership between American citizens as well as the politicans declaring to represent their passions. A provocative audiobook that interrogates the meanings of patriotism, independence, and integrity, Many Dangerous further establishes Steve Sheinkin being a leader in children’s nonfiction.
