Description: The Pentagon PapersThe Defense Department History of United States Decisionmaking on VIETNAMVolume 4The Senator Gravel Edition Ex-libraryHardcover687 pagesDustjacket with clear protective cover From the front Dust Jacket flap: Late in June 1971, when the Federal Government had succeeded in delaying the publication of even newspaper synopses and brief excerpts from the secret Pentagon Papers, Senator Mike Gravel convened a special meeting of his Subcommittee on Public Buildings and Grounds. The Senator had recently received 4,100 pages of the Papers, and on the night of June 29, at that extraordinary meeting, he entered them into the official record of the subcommittee. That record is published here for the first time, in order that the American public can have access to the full story of American involvement in Vietnam from early 1940s to March of 1968. The Pentagon Papers revealed the inner workings of a bureaucracy, set up to defend this country, but now managing an international empire by garrisoning American troops around the world. The papers show that is has created client regimes, made secret commitments, toppled governments, and kept from the American people the true facts and it’s real intentions.
