Product Description

In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, a leading Vietnam War strategist, concludes the war is based on decades of lies. He leaks 7,000 pages of top-secret documents to The New York Times, a daring act of conscience that leads directly to Watergate, President Nixon's resignation and the end of the Vietnam War.

Format:DVD
This is a work of political intelligence of the highest order. I do not say that lightly. In two decades of campaigning against nuclear weapons I have not encountered a documentary that so inspired me. I came on it by accident in the early hours of the morning seated in the dark in the back row of a jumbo jet flying from London to Singapore. As I watched in the dark I was inspired. At times I broke down in tears . These were tears of joy. They were also tears of sorrow. They were tears of joy to see such intelligence at work in the making of a documentary today . They were also tears of joy to see how a number of intelligent men and women -- I say a number, because while Daniel and Patricia Ellsberg are completely inspiring, the film points to so many others whose stories I would now like to know more about -- right at the heart of America's power elite and believing in its highest values, who saw the danger of communism , who appreciated the values of the American military, who understood the value of America's Constitution but were aware of how the actual political game is played, came to take a stand where they were against the horror of Vietnam -- and did so effectively. They were also tears of sorrow. How could one not watch what happened and ask why did it take so long for America to end that war? And, they were tears of sorrow because the war in Vietnam would be followed by the stupidity of the Second Cold War, the recklessness of financial deregulation .... there was personal moment. I too took my wife to a peace demonstration at which I was speaking and she wondered what her bosses and work colleagues would think if she was seen there. It is a film worth watching twice....

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hero of Our Time 7 May 2011
Format:DVD
Daniel Ellsberg was a very important - perhaps the most decisive - figure in bringing to an end the Vietnam War. His release of the Pentagon papers (an internal study commissioned by Robert Mcnamara which demonstrated that the official justification for the war was fraudulent) was the turning point which finally brought to an end this senseless tragedy in which so many American and Vietnamese lives were lost. This Academy Award nominated documentary tells the story of how a former RAND corporation hawk came to be the undoing of the Military Industrial Complex's lucrative military expedition in South-East Asia.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 star pentagon 24 Feb 2013
By Ribo
Format:DVD
The Pentagon on Washington has 5 sides and this excellent documentary on Daniel Ellsberg the man who published the Pentagon Papers is 5 stars. A man who did change the course of history at the height of an unjust war.
