In 1964, Daniel Ellsberg was a U.S. government analyst, helping to plan a war in Vietnam. It was the height of the Cold War, and the government would do anything to stop the spread of communism\u2015with or without the consent of the American people.<\/p>\n

As the fighting in Vietnam escalated, Ellsberg turned against the war. He had access a top-secret government report known as the Pentagon Papers, and he knew it could blow the lid off of years of government lies. But did he have the right to expose decades of presidential secrets? And what would happen to him if he did it?<\/p>\n

A lively book that interrogates the meanings of patriotism, freedom, and integrity, the National Book Award finalist Most Dangerous further establishes Steve Sheinkin\u2015author of Newbery Honor book Bomb as a leader in children’s nonfiction.<\/p>\n

This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.<\/p>\n
