1971

 

the Pentagon Papers

 

It is to many

the greatest journalistic scoop

in a generation

– the publication

of a 7,000-page government report

that laid bare

how successive US administrations

had escalated the Vietnam war

while concealing doubts

that the action could ever be

successful.

 

That report

– the Pentagon Papers –

was made public in 1971

by the New York Times

over legal objections

by the Nixon administration.
