| United States-Vietnam Relations, 1945-1967: A Study Prepared by the Department of Defense |
| Widely known as the "Pentagon Papers", this 1967 study commissioned by Robert McNamara revealed that the United States government had been misrepresenting the facts of the Vietnam War's chances of success. Department of Defence employee Daniel Ellsberg leaked most of the papers to the New York Times who published an excerpt, were banned by the Nixon administration, and resumed publishing excerpts two weeks later after the Supreme Court ruled the presidency did not have the right to forbid its publication by the media. The entire report has never been released or available, and is housed in the confidential section of the LBJ Presidential Library— Excerpted from Pentagon Papers on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. |
