Program Description

Event Details

Pick up a copy of this month's book in Teen Central and join us for a discussion and snacks. 

This month we will be discussing Most Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War by Steve Sheinkin.

On June 13, 1971, the front page of the New York Times announced the existence of a 7,000-page collection of documents containing a secret history of the Vietnam War. Known as The Pentagon Papers, these documents had been commissioned by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Chronicling every action the government had taken in the Vietnam War, they revealed a pattern of deception spanning over twenty years and four presidencies, and forever changed the relationship between American citizens and the politicians claiming to represent their interests.
